One must always respect another’s signature move! And Becky Lynch did just that before making her grand SummerSlam 2021 return. She called up Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock to ask if she could use the Rock Bottom.
During her conversation on Out of Character with Ryan Satin, she revealed the conversation she had with The Great One before she used the variation upon her return.
“So I used a variation of The Rock Bottom before but it’s just easier to get it and go. I asked The Rock if I could use it and he was very gracious and said that I could so.”
“I told him how SummerSlam is gonna go down. And said, ‘Look, here’s what I’m thinking. I’m supposed to hit one move on her. Can I use this?’ ‘Yeah!’” H/t Out of Character with Ryan Satin
It’s amazing that The Man did this. Usually, Superstars just go ahead and use other pro-wrestlers’ finisher moves, and pass them off as tributes. However, here she went the extra mile and reached out to The Rock to know if he was comfortable with it. RESPECT!

Becky Lynch wants to be bigger than The Rock
The current SmackDown Women’s Champion is already sitting at the top, but she’s not done. She wants to be bigger and better!
Recently, she revealed that she wants to be bigger than The Rock, but she’s not trying to be the next Rock. She wants to create an identity for herself that is bigger than anything the WWE Universe has seen till date!
Considering her age, she can become bigger than The Rock. However, it’s not the age that matters, it’s the connection she makes with the audience which counts. And, needless to say, in that field, she’s soaring high!
Whenever she steps out to the ring, there’s a mixture of cheers and boos. This is a great thing because the cheers indicate the presence of her fans in the crowd, and the boos indicate her success as heel.
Not to be biased, But Lynch has the potential to become a milestone in advancing the women’s division.
