Tensions were taken to another level on the most recent episode of RAW. AJ Lee<\/a> hit Seth Rollins in the same manner Becky Lynch had hit CM Punk<\/a>. Rollins and Lynch were able to reverse the situation despite the shock. Before the couple retreated, Lynch gave Lee a Manhandle Slam, leaving Punk enraged in the ring.<\/p>\n Seth Rollins was moderately criticized, and his manager, Paul Heyman<\/a>, was considerably more outspoken. Appearing on ESPN’s First Take with Stephen A. Smith, Heyman minimized the talents of AJ Lee as compared to Becky Lynch. He pointed out that Lynch is not a normal wrestler but the first woman to do a main event and win at WrestleMania over Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair.<\/p>\n Heyman had contended that, according to him, AJ Lee should not be in the same league with Lynch. He even went a notch higher and proposed that the match be nothing other than Seth Rollins versus CM Punk, with the future of Lee being pegged on the result.<\/p>\n Fans already know what to expect from Heyman; his unwavering loyalty lies with Team Becky. However, his provocative remarks have further created more anticipation for the game. This Saturday, September 20, we have WrestlePalooza, in which the night will be full of action.<\/p>\n Besides the Seth Rollins & Lynch vs. Punk and Lee match, Cody Rhodes will defend the Undisputed<\/a> WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre. Stephanie Vaquer will fight with IYO SKY<\/a> to make somebody a new Women’s Champion, and John Cena will have the opportunity to fight with Brock Lesnar<\/a> in a much-anticipated match.<\/p>\n More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a> for more on WWE and other news stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
