WWE News: Becky Lynch wants a match with James Ellsworth


WWE superstar Becky Lynch
What’s the story?
Becky Lynch, better known as the Irish Lasskicker, has defeated many foes on Smackdown LIVE in her short tenure there. On social media, she asked Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan if she could fight James Ellsworth.
The Context
Since his emergence in the WWE, Ellsworth has made an impact on WWE television. In what began as a squash match with Braun Strowman, the West Virginia native caught the eye of WWE officials who paired him up with AJ Styles. Ellsworth defeated the former WWE champion on two different occasions, thus giving him slight legitimacy in the world of WWE.
Fast-forward several months, Ellsworth is now the valet for Carmella. While remaining a comedy act, his words started to get him in trouble on-screen. He continued to call out wrestlers on both brands during his WWE TV career, but now a female WWE star is calling out Ellsworth.
The heart of the matter
Recently on Twitter, Lynch was asked if she would fight Ellsworth and the Lasskicker replied with great excitement.

What’s next?
It’s hard to imagine a scenario where Lynch and Ellsworth actually compete in a sanctioned match. The only realistic way would be for Carmella and Lynch to enter into a long rivalry. Ellsworth would have to insert himself into the program and engage in physical contact with the Irish Lasskicker. Other than that, the possibility of it happening isn’t high.
Author’s take
I don’t want to see this happen because Lynch belongs in the championship picture on Smackdown LIVE. Anything else feels like a demotion to me. She deserves better because her talent dictates that. A feud with Carmella won’t drag her down a path of obscurity, but a match with Ellsworth would.
