WWE star Becky Lynch fined for swinging chair at referee
New Delhi, Sep 16
Becky Lynch, a Raw Women's champion, has been handed a $10,000 fine by the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) after she struck a referee with a chair during her championship match against Sasha Banks.
Popularly known as "The Man", Becky tried to hit Sasha with a steel chair but instead ended hitting the referee.
The chair came into play thanks to an Eddie Guerrero homage by Sasha that only netted her a two-count but ended with Becky laying out the ref to net a disqualification.
