Even though she doesn’t win all that often and has been turned on a ridiculous number of times in less than a year, Becky Lynch has managed to amass a decent following on her own. She works hard and is solid in the ring.

So when a successful angle hits and the crowd reacts exactly as you would’ve wanted, you can’t help but smile. Monday night, Natalya was on commentary explaining that she attacked Becky last week because she was tired of being nice, that being nice led to you getting walked all over. Instead of focusing on opponent Summer Rae, Lynch rolled right out of the ring and assaulted Nattie, yelling at her the entire time.

The feud is starting to heat up a little, with Becky garnering some fan chants of her name when she jumped Natalya. That little burst of fire certainly helped stir interest among fans, which hopefully will carry over to next week. If this little side feud helps elevate Becky, then it will have served its purpose nicely.
