CBS Sports Names Becky Lynch Wrestler Of The Year, “The Man” Responds, Full List Of CBS 2018 Award Winners
CBS Sports has named Becky Lynch their 2018 Wrestler of the Year.
The Man took to Twitter today and responded to the honor. She wrote, “Start of 2018, I couldn’t even get on TV. You’re never truly down, you’re never truly out. Stand up and fight. Keep swinging even if you don’t know what you’re swinging for, or at. If you’re like me you’ll eventually slap a head that deserves it and the whole world will notice.”
CBS’ praise for Lynch included the following:
“In a year filled with stunning developments, no one shook up the world of professional wrestling more than Becky Lynch, who has turned both WWE and the business as a whole on its head over the last six months by not only winning the hearts and minds of fans across the globe but doing so while standing out as “The Man” in an industry historically dominated by men. The 31-year-old Rebecca Quinn — largely marginalized by WWE over the last two years despite being a clear fan favorite — has not only become arguably the most popular superstar in the company, she looks to have forced it to change its plans for its biggest show of the coming year, WrestleMania 35 in New York. And that is why Lynch is the 2018 CBS Sports Wrestler of the Year.How has she done it? Quite simply by showing a renewed confidence and natural swagger that has been compared to everyone from Steve Austin to Roddy Piper to countryman Conor McGregor. In actuality, the comparisons do not do Lynch justice and hardly explain why she is now “The Man.” Lynch has quite simply become the best version of herself, a take-no-prisoners bad-ass who is defying convention by exorcising the demons created from two years of being kept out of the championship picture.”

Becky Lynch Revealed As Asuka’s Opponent At Royal Rumble
Becky Lynch vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Asuka is now official for the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
Lynch vs. Asuka was announced during this week’s WWE Main Event episode, which was a recap show with no new matches, hosted by Scott Stanford.
WATCH: Footage Of Becky Lynch And Charlotte Flair After WWE TLC Went 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.
WATCH: Becky Lynch Moments After Learning She Couldn’t Compete At Survivor Series
Becky Lynch was frustrated and emotional just moments after WWE‘s medical staff informed her that she wouldn’t be cleared to compete at Survivor Series, as seen in newly released video.
WWE shared footage of Becky the day after leading an invasion on Raw, which reveals she went to the emergency room after Nia Jax busted her open during the in-ring melee.
The video was shot during the day before SmackDown and shows Becky being called into a closed-door meeting with WWE officials and staff where she was informed that her match against Ronda Rousey on Sunday would not be taking place.
The SmackDown Live Women’s Champion is then shown sitting in the stands reflecting on the news. “I don’t want to be sitting out right now,” Lynch says somberly. “I keep begging them to let me do something. I’ll be fine, ya know? I feel fine and I look great. So, imagine how I’ll look in 48.”

Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey Needs To Headline WrestleMania 35
Cageside Seats has a post that suggest that the expected Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey match at WrestleMania 35 needs to headline the show.
You can check out the article below:
The last thing I’d do is suggest Becky Lynch’s injury and removal from her Survivor Seriesshowdown with Ronda Rousey is a good thing.
That said, there may be some good to come out of it.
With rumors already suggesting a clash between the women could headline — or at least co-headline — WrestleMania 35, the match could only grow in size by keeping the two away from each other, but on each other’s minds.
The reality is, Rousey will continue getting trounced in the Twitter and promo wars because she simply isn’t playing the same game as Lynch, who is on one of the greatest character runs in modern WWE history. But fans want the match and they want it even more now that they can’t have it.
If WWE can have both women go about their business in their respective brands and strategically work moments for them to come close to a clash, it’s only going to build heat.
It also allows their title reigns to grow in length and make the prospect of a champion vs. champion match on the biggest stage of them all all that much more intriguing.
Here’s hoping WWE uses pay-per-view events to put the women in the same place to continue building to the future, but limits any physical interactions until they step on that grand stage.
Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey should main event WrestleMania.
If that happens as a first-time-ever match, it’s a bit of sunshine peeking from the dark cloud of Becky’s injury.
As noted, SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey is currently the plan for WrestleMania 35, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer reported in the latest edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the match is currently planned to headline the show. If the plan doesn’t change, it will be the first time a women’s match has ever headlined WrestleMania.
Becky Lynch Has Savage Responses For Ronda Rousey And Nia Jax, Note On “Millennial Man” Diss
We noted yesterday how RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey took to Instagram to write a lengthy post on SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, knocking her for being weak and not being able to take a real punch. At the same time, Nia Jax tweeted a photo of her busted fist after the stiff shot to Lynch on RAW. That shot gave Becky a broken nose and a severe concussion, forcing her to name Charlotte Flair for her replacement in Sunday’s WWE Survivor Series match against Rousey.
The Champ took to Twitter this afternoon and responded to Jax and Rousey. Lynch hit Rousey with a “TL/DR” jab and knocked her for having a weak mind and a weak jaw. Lynch accused Jax of sucker-punching her and warned her for payback, also calling her a b—h.
Becky wrote in response to Rousey’s Instagram post, “Ronnie, TL/DR. When I got my face broke I got up, owned you THEN showed up the next day looking to fight some more. When you got your face broke you hid for a year under your blankie. Your mind is as weak as your jaw, & I’m going to move heaven & earth to come destroy them both.”
She wrote in response to Jax’s photo, “You gave me your best sucker punch, but I got back up to destroy your whole roster. They won’t let me fight, but I’ll get back up from that too. It’s what I do. So enjoy your one free shot, because as bad as my memory is now, I haven’t forgotten you, b—h.”
In an interesting note on Rousey’s “Millennial Man” diss to Lynch, they are both 31 years old and were actually born just two days apart. Becky was born on January 30, 1987 and Rousey was born on February 1, 1987.
Below are Becky’s tweets along with the earlier posts from Jax and Rousey’s for those who missed it:

@beckylynchwwe I’m really sorry to hear The Millennial Man will not be showing up for her legally arranged ass whooping on November 18th at the Staples Center.
Unfortunately now everyone knows if someone hauls off and punches you for real, your face implodes. I suggest you keep practicing your tough guys faces in the mirror, should be very effective physical therapy.
And have fun watching Korean soap operas on Netflix or whatever the hell the Millennial Man does with her free time. Don’t worry I’m not the back stabbing cheap shotting ambushing cowardly type, so you’re perfectly safe to take your time and heal up until your figurative balls have dropped and you’re finally ready for your comeuppance. I want you 100% healed up, prepared, and looking me in the eye when the bell rings. Lemmie know when you’re done healing your boo boos and ready for me to serve you your ass on a silver platter with your avocado toast.
I do have to admit, The Millennial Man is stunningly conniving. She poked the bear and ran like a bat outta hell when the bear awoke – Feeding me her favorite frienemy and fellow #FAUXhorsewoman @charlottewwe is a new level of manipulative cowardice, even for The Millennial Man. @charlottewwe is a Superfight and I’ve always wanted to fight her – but she’s just the stand in for the beating @beckylynchwwe has coming to her this Sunday. I’ll be sending The Champ a choice piece of Charlotte as a souvenir #RondaVsCharlotte #SurvivorSeries #Nov18 #4horsewomenVSfauxhorsewomen
