Becky Lynch’s ex-boyfriend, comedian Jeff Dye, is claiming that WWE once wanted “The Man” to shave her head.
Speaking on the latest edition of the “Wrestling With Freddie” podcast, Dye revealed that while the idea was pitched, Becky wound up turning it down. Of course, a similar angle recently took place with Shotzi, who agreed to shave head in solidarity with her sister, who is battling cancer. Dye said,
“When I was with Becky, they didn’t know what to do with her and there was a writer that pitched like, ‘What if we have you just shave your head and act like you’re having a breakdown?’ And Becky was like, ‘No.’ It was even going to move forward. They were like, ‘No, we think that’s a cool idea.’ This writer pitched like she would have to shave her head. [Becky said] ‘I’m not going to shave my head. What are you talking about?’ And so it never [took off] because Becky stood her ground and was like, ‘I’m not doing that.’ They never did it, which made me wonder if maybe Shotzi was like, ‘I’m going to shave my head for this thing.’ And then that same writer was like, ‘My story is going to get big. Wait, what? I have a thing for this.’“
