The crowd was on its feet, cheering, chanting, celebrating another Becky Lynch victory. The music blared, the lights flashed, and the ring announcer triumphantly declared her the winner.
But Becky didn’t care.
She didn’t raise her arms in triumph. She didn’t smirk at the camera or revel in the adoration of the people. She just stood there, hands on her hips, staring out at the sea of faces screaming for her, expecting the same Becky Lynch they always knew—the hero, the underdog, The Man.
