This past Sunday night at WrestleMania 35, Becky Lynch became The New RAW & SmackDown Women’s Champion by defeating Ronda Rousey & Charlotte Flair in a Winner Takes All Triple Threat Main Event Matchup. As previously reported, UFC Legend Conor McGregor sent out a message to congratulate Becky Lynch on her win.
“Congrats to Ireland’s Becky Lynch, the WWE’s first Champ Champ. Wow! What a match these ladies put on! Ronda Rousey is something special in that ring, as is Charlotte Flair of the Flair dynasty! Stephanie McMahon you are right, I could not do what these athletes do. Or could I…”
Several fans would then respond to McGregor to point out that there were double champions in the past even before Lynch became one. Chris Jericho was one of the responses fans gave out. Jericho won two titles at Vengeance in 2001. McGregor would then give his definition of what a “champ champ” is.
“One of these is a WCW belt. Both belts must be won under the same organization and both titles must be fully unified, also. Interim titles do not make the cut. The belts must also be held consecutively. This is for true ‘Champ Champ’ status. Yours sincerely, The Champ Champ”
Chris Jericho would then notice McGregor’s explanation and correct him.
“Thanks for the explanation of the rules, Champ Champ. But both belts were won under the same organization, on the same night. Now quit being a mark and move along, junior.”
Congrats to Irelands Becky Lynch, the WWE’s first Champ Champ.
Wow!
What a match these ladies put on! Ronda Rousey is something special in that ring, as is Charlotte Flair of the Flair dynasty!
Stephanie McMahon you are right, I could not do what these athletes do.
Or could I…
