Becky Lynch is scheduled to appear on the September 5 edition of SmackDown in Chicago. Reports indicate she is planned for the show’s final segment to confront CM Punk. The appearance continues their escalating cross-brand conflict.
The feud ignited at Clash in Paris. Lynch interfered in the World Heavyweight Championship match, hitting Punk with a low blow. The move allowed her husband, Seth Rollins, to retain the title.
Lynch then confronted Punk on the following episode of Raw. She slapped him multiple times in the ring. Punk warned her, “you are going to regret putting your hands on me.”
These altercations are reportedly building towards a larger program. The widely reported plan involves a mixed tag team match pitting Lynch and Rollins against Punk and his wife, AJ Lee.
This potential match is rumored for the Wrestlepalooza premium live event on September 20. Speculation about AJ Lee’s return intensified after a deleted social media post from the official WWE Shop account appeared to confirm it. The post mentioned preparing merchandise for Lee’s comeback.
Lynch’s presence on SmackDown marks the next significant step in the storyline. Her actions will likely serve as the catalyst for Lee’s expected return to WWE television.
