4 reasons why Becky Lynch isn't the new Stone Cold Steve Austin

#4 Management is not completely behind her

Stephanie McMahon is portrayed as a level above Becky Lynch

During his heyday, Steve Austin had the full support of the WWE machine and there was a good reason for it, too.

Austin got people to tune in to WWE and made the company millions in merchandise sales. For all of Lynch's popularity, it is reported that her merchandise revenue is negligible compared to the likes of John Cena and Roman Reigns. Neither does she have the mainstream appeal Ronda Rousey has.

The higher ups seem a bit reluctant to accept her too. The no-sell guru of WWE today - Stephanie McMahon, warmed up to Ronda Rousey in such a way that she has allowed Rousy to dominate her in almost all their exchanges. This coming from someone who gave back exactly one WrestleMania bump to the Authority's opponents all year for several years is indeed high praise.

Lynch, on the other hand, basically sold out when she apologized to the she-devil on RAW and has done really nothing to make the Authority sweat. She might just be the female Braun Strowman - highly popular, but just not good enough to carry the company.

Hopefully, this changes in the build-up to and during WrestleMania, but Lynch needs to distance herself from the Stone Cold comparisons and develop her character in her own unique way.

Triple H and Stephanie have proven over the past five years that they will never allow themselves to be booked like Vince McMahon of the 90s - an authority figure who gets his/her comeuppance more often than not.

Unless they change their tune, Becky Lynch will always come across as a Stone Cold wannabe who promised much but delivered little.
