Becky Lynch’s rivalry with Nikki Bella got personal leading up to WWE Clash in Paris.

After ending her feuds with Lyra Valkyria and Bayley, Lynch sought a new opponent for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, as Bella stepped up.

Over the weeks, the duo traded verbal jabs, even attacking each other on multiple occasions.

During the August 29 episode of SmackDown in Lyon, Paris, Bella and Lynch faced off, with the champion finally agreeing to their match at Clash.

Becky Lynch Gets Creative Against Nikki Bella

The Man dominated the majority of the match early on, all the while talking thrash to her WWE Hall of Famer opponent.

Bella turned the tables on the 38-year-old, taking the action outside the ring.

The challenger then hit the Man-handle slam on Becky Lynch and unsuccessfully attempted the disarm-her, but the latter rolled her up for the 1-2-3. It was the same pinfall that Lynch flawlessly executed on Bayley at Evolution.

Wade Barrett on commentary called it “Lynchpin.”
