WATCH: Footage Of Becky Lynch And Charlotte Flair After WWE TLC Went Off-The-Air

becky lynch charlotte flair react tlc loss results video ronda rousey off the air

Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair were both pretty grumpy after WWE TLC went off-the-air, as seen in newly released footage.

The WWE.com video begins with an angry Becky reacting to the loss and Charlotte at the top of the ramp looking none too pleased about Ronda Rousey interfering.

In case you missed it, Rousey got involved in the final moments of the TLC main event and pushed the two wrestlers off a ladder to give Asuka an easy path to victory.

Becky is also shown in the footage telling the crowd “I will be back” before walking backstage.

FYI — Asuka was interviewed after the show and said that she is now “The Man.”

Watch both videos below.

In an interview with Local Memphis 24, Jerry Lawler said that he hasn’t given up on finding answers to the mysterious death of his son Brian Christopher. Here are highlights:

On not getting any answers: “Up until this time, we haven’t been able to get any answers from anybody.”

On no autopsy report yet: “That’s the thing that’s so frustrating. You sit around hoping the phone is going to ring anytime and any day you’ll hear some kind of information, something positive. It’s just a slow process.”

On not giving up: “In the words of my attorney, there’s so much smoke that has come out of that Bolivar jail that there’s got to be a fire somewhere. And, you’re right, if we can help unearth that, then maybe things will change, and it’ll be better for some people down the line.”

Natalya Opens Up About WWE Using Jim Neidhart’s Death In Her Storyline

natalya jim neidhart death storylines interview reaction

Natalya says she has no problem with the death of Jim ‘The Anvil’ Neidhart being the focus of her current storyline, because it feels like her father is getting “one last run.”

“My dad was a professional wrestler,” Neidhart told Yahoo in a new interview. “He was a WWE superstar, he was a WWE legend before he passed away and I feel like in some crazy way this is like my dad is having one last run.”

Adding, “I feel like if I asked my dad right now, ‘Daddy, how do you feel about me doing this storyline?’ My dad would say go for it. He understood pro wrestling, he understood how, for fans to become emotionally invested in stories, there has to be emotionally charged content.”

As we previously reported, Anvil passed away in August.

In case you missed it, Ruby Riott displayed a table with Neidhart’s image plastered over it on the latest episode of Raw and told Natalya she’d throw her through it at TLC.

Matt Hardy Discusses How A “Woken” RAW GM Would Work

Image result for Matt Hardy Gives WWE Return Update, Talks His Run w/ Bray Wyatt, More

Matt Hardy has been on the shelf since August while he lets his body heal from over two decades in the ring. He’s dabbled as a backstage producer and did a Halloween special for WWE Network, but Hardy has another WWE role in mind.

Hardy has interest in being the Raw General Manager as “Woken” Matt Hardy. He further talked about his ideas if given that title in an interview with Wrestling Inc.’s Akhilesh Gannavarapu.

“Baron Corbin is obviously a character in the role of abusing his power and putting the good guys in bad situations and taking advantage of it,” Hardy stated.

“I think coming in [as GM], it would be a fresh start considering I would be a good guy in many ways. Woken Matt Hardy in being the character he is, and how over the top he is, I think he would be very entertaining in a General Manager role. I could put guys in unique situations or matches. My interactions with each and every talent would be so unique.

“I think the funnest thing between Broken Matt Hardy and Woken Matt Hardy was the interaction I had with other performers. I think if you have Woken Matt Hardy interacting with the women’s division and all the different athletes of the men’s division, I think there would be so much entertaining tv there.”

The Hardy Boyz really made their name at SummerSlam 2000 when they took part in the first-ever TLC match alongside Edge and Christian and the Dudleys. Matt Hardy reminisced about those early matches and how the impact of them is still evident in WWE today.

“It was the matches that put us on the map and made us Superstars in many ways and it also allowed us the opportunity to go out and do things that had never been done before,” said Matt. “Myself and my brother, when we were doing independent matches before we came to WWE, we used to have a lot of matches against each other where I would be Surge Matt Hardy and he would be Willow the Wisp wearing a mask.”

Matt and Jeff used some of the ideas from those matches and pitched them to WWE. One of those ideas was that of a ladder match and Matt said Edge and Christian would make great opponents because of their athleticism and the chemistry between the two teams.

Soon after, the Dudleys were added and history was made.

“We integrated the Dudley Boyz and tables and that’s where all of the TLC insanity began. To me, being one of the forefathers that started that movement, it’s very cool that TLC is now a pay-per-view and a staple of WWE history. It’s cool to be a performer that created something that became a mainstay in WWE,” Matt said.

Matt also discussed the WWE tryouts that are heading to India next year and said he wished he had that opportunity when first starting out.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for anyone that’s an inspiring WWE Superstar,” said Matt. “When Jeff and I first started, we didn’t have an opportunity to go somewhere and get in front of WWE management. We were driving up and down the east coast and networking and hoping to catch a break one day.”

Matt noted how aspiring wrestlers can go sign up at WWE’s Performance Center website in order to get an opportunity in front of the people in charge at WWE.

“If they see something special, something that stands out or the “it” factor, it could gain you the chance to become a WWE Superstar and that’s a golden opportunity and one I wouldn’t pass up,” stated Matt.
