“Bald” Becky Lynch.
It doesn’t have a nice ring to it.
Good thing WWE didn’t go through with their plans in that direction.
Comedian Jeff Dye, the ex-boyfriend of “The Man,” recently appeared as a guest on the “Wrestling With Freddie” podcast with Freddie Prinze Jr. for an interview, during which he revealed that WWE once pitched a mental breakdown story line with Lynch that would see her shave her head, similar to the ongoing story line right now involving Shotzi.
“When I was with Becky, they didn’t know what to do with her and there was a writer that pitched like, ‘What if we have you just shave your head and act like you’re having a breakdown?’ And Becky was like, ‘No.’ It was even going to move forward. They were like, ‘No, we think that’s a cool idea.’ This writer pitched like she would have to shave her head,” Dye said. “[Becky said] ‘I’m not going to shave my head. What are you talking about?’ And so it never [took off] because Becky stood her ground and was like, ‘I’m not doing that.’”
Dye continued, “They never did it, which made me wonder if maybe Shotzi was like, ‘I’m going to shave my head for this thing.’ And then that same writer was like, ‘My story is going to get big. Wait, what? I have a thing for this.’”
