Nikki Bella and Becky Lynch had a botch at Clash in Paris

The match between Nikki Bella and Becky Lynch turned out to be entertaining, but the two stars were involved in a big botch as well.

Toward the end of the match, Nikki was closer to the corner of the ring and attempted a springboard kick. However, Lynch had moved away from her position, resulting in the former Divas Champion completely missing her target.

The contest also saw the French crowd cheer for the heel champion over the babyface Nikki Bella. This raised questions over WWE's booking of her in the recent weeks.

While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
