When it was all over, Lena and Lynch had beat back their enemies but Lynch wasn’t done. According to Sky Sports, she threw the celebrating Cena against the ropes. Later, when Cena offered a handshake, Lynch snubbed him and walked off.

Talking to WWE.com after the match, Cena said he had no problem at all with the way Lynch treated him in the ring.

“I remember speaking to a journalist when I was promoting the movie ‘Bumblebee’ and he asked me how do I feel about Becky Lynch’s character,” he said. “She believes it, she’s ‘The Man’, especially after being with her tonight. It is not a character, it is Becky Lynch. And that’s something I can relate to.”

In fact, Cena said that he sees Lynch as a great example of the attitude all WWE superstars should have.

“When I stand tall in the WWE ring, people know they’re getting the best of me. And Becky Lynch came out there and not only staked her claim but said, ‘Listen, if I have to go through you to get it, I’ll get it done.’ I looked into her eyes and she meant it,” Cena said. “I hope the other WWE superstars regardless of gender were paying attention to the attitude of Becky Lynch because sometimes you gotta announce your presence with authority.”
