Triple H is already making some huge changes that wouldn’t be done if Vince McMahon was in charge. SummerSlam kicked off with the RAW Women’s Championship match as Bianca Belair successfully retained her title against Becky Lynch. After the bout, the latter shook hands with Belair and hugged her, seemingly turning babyface.
Triple H wanted the Becky Lynch babyface turn
The idea to turn her heel a year ago wasn’t universally praised and last night appeared to be a correction made by the new Head of Creative, Triple H. ‘Big Time Becks’ will now work alongside Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair and perhaps one other woman in a feud against Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky and Bayley.
During a PWTorchVIP.com audio show, Wade Keller confirmed that the decision to turn Lynch back to a babyface was not in the plans just a couple of weeks ago before Vince McMahon resigned as CEO of the company.
Keller said:
“I can now confirm Becky was not gonna turn if Vince McMahon was still in control. That was a Paul Levesque call. I just got confirmation on that. She would have been a heel as we’re talking right now if McMahon was still running things. So, one big change early on there.”
Following the bout, Bayley made her huge return at recently concluded WWE SummerSlam Premium Live Event. But she was not alone. She was accompanied by Io Shirai(now Iyo Sky) and Dakota Kai, seemingly forming a stable. As per the reports, Vince McMahon had turned down the idea of the stable. But, with Triple H being the new Head of Creative, he approved the idea.
As it seems, Io Shirai has inked a new deal with WWE and Dakota Kai, who was released has now been brought back. According to Sean Sapp behind Fightful’s paywall, Vince McMahon had the idea of this new stable with Bayley leading Shirai and Kai before Dakota was released. However, he rejected the idea and then Kai was cut.
