Irish professional wrestler Becky Lynch slapped American wrestler and actor CM Punk on World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Raw after stepping in to defend her husband Seth Rollins.

 

On Monday, Punk called out Rollins after The Visionary retained his World Heavyweight Championship at Clash in Paris with help from Lynch. 

 

Rollins defended his title in a Fatal-4 Way match against Punk, LA Knight and Jey Uso. Lynch entered the ring during the match and hit Punk below the belt, allowing Rollins to secure the win.

 

Punk demanded Rollins face him on Raw, but Lynch walked out instead to her husband’s music. She even mocked Rollins’ signature entrance before stepping into the ring.

 

Lynch told Punk to step aside, claiming that her and Rollins’ vision for wrestling was taking over. She also reminded Punk how his WWE departure in 2014 distracted fans from her matches, as crowds kept chanting his name.

 

Punk fired back and called Rollins a coward for hiding behind his wife. Rollins briefly appeared on the entrance ramp and dared Punk to fight him, but Lynch blocked the path.

 

The confrontation heated up when Lynch slapped Punk across the face. She struck him multiple times and pushed him while daring him to make a move.

 

"I'm going to make Seth Rollins regret ever cashing in on me and you're going to regret putting your hands on me," Punk said before leaving the ring.

 

Punk may have also hinted at his wife AJ Lee, a former three-time Divas Champion, who left WWE in 2015, making an appearance.
