"The Man" Becky Lynch Channelled Morrison-Era Jean Grey At WWE ELIMINATION CHAMBER Last Night

During last night's Elimination Chamber PPV, Becky Lynch made a surprise appearance to take down her possible WrestleMania opponents and was decked out in what seemed to be some comic book-inspired gear.

As you'll already know if you visit our sister site TheRingReport.com, the current plan is for RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey to defend the title against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania. Becky Lynch was originally scheduled to face the Baddest Woman on the Planet but she was suspended by Vince McMahon, and now fans are wondering how "The Man" will be added to the bout.

Well, during last night's Elimination Chamber PPV, Lynch took out both Flair and Rousey with a crutch before being dragged out of the building by security with a very satisfied looking smirk on her face.

What has comic book fans talking today, though, is the fact that Becky was wearing ring gear which definitely appears to have been inspired by the version of Jean Grey from the Grant Morrison/Frank Quitely New X-Men series.

Ronda Rousey, meanwhile, wore a costume inspired by the character she voices in Mortal Kombat 11: Sonya Blade.

Between the gear she was wearing and her trademark red hair, "The Man" definitely gave off a Jean Grey vibe, and it's no surprise as many wrestlers are known to be big comic book fans (there's a huge crossover between each of the fandoms as well). With any luck, we'll see Becky in a similarly awesome get up at Wrestlemania this April.

Becky rocks!

TheUnworthyThor - 2/18/2019, 6:01 AM

Amazing how she has done a better Jean Grey and a Black Canary than movies and television have managed.

GhostDog - 2/18/2019, 6:19 AM

Cant get enough of Becky. THE MAN is the man.

Brave - 2/18/2019, 6:57 AM

One of the BEST momemts last night. The Man wrecked shit. Sasha and Bayley winning was a great moment too. And KOFI...

JustAChillDude - 2/18/2019, 7:23 AM

@Brave - I turned off the All Star game to watch Kofi and man...I was so pumped. WrestleMania HAS to be his moment. The times long overdue for a full black WWE Champ.

Brave - 2/18/2019, 7:50 AM

@JustAChillDude - seriously he's earned it. And yes, we're WAY overdue for a full black WWE champ lol

TheRose - 2/18/2019, 9:07 AM

@Brave - Kofi is so over right now, it's ridiculous. I'm really hoping that he gets the title shot at Mania!

Brave - 2/18/2019, 6:58 AM

Becky is gonna be at Wrestlemania. No doubt.

TheRose - 2/18/2019, 9:06 AM

She killed it in that getup last night--maybe we are hinting at a Phoenix costume for her in the future?

It was brutal to see her wailing those crutches on Charlotte. I'm loving The Man's road to Wrestlemania story right now and can't wait to see what is next!

I really hated that Morrison run.

It sold a lot of books, and killed the X-Men all at the same time.

Morrison doesn't future-build, and likes to burn things down. I think every character ended up worse off by today, and much of that architecture can be traced by to then.

I cringe anytime I click articles posted by this hack.

The problem with wrestling is the fact that the fighting isn't convincing and the acting and storylines are atrocious. I'd watch Supergirl before I'd watch wrestling!
