When Big Time Becks returned at SummerSlam 2021, she turned heel and had a different alteration of her initial character. Subsequently, to match the new version of her gimmick, she started using ‘The Manhandle Slam’ a similar move to ‘The Rock Bottom’.

Further in the interview, she asked Wahlberg what her finishing move will be if he is facing Kevin Hart. He looked at Hart and did a flying kiss impression, calling it the Kiss of Death. The Man told Wahlberg that her recent top rival, Bianca Belair, already uses this move. 

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson gave Becky Lynch permission to use The Rock Bottom

Becky Lynch, in the recent WWE interview where she was the host, admitted she copied The Rock’s finisher Rock Bottom. However, there is a bigger story behind that too. 

A couple of months later, after she returned in 2021, Lynch appeared on Out of Character where she shared talking to Dwayne Johnson about using Rock Bottom as her new finisher.

The Man said, “So I used a variation of The Rock Bottom before but it’s just easier to get it and go. I asked The Rock if I could use it and he was very gracious and said that I could.”

Johnson was gracious enough to permit Lynch to use the move. He had seen how big the former RAW Woman’s Champion had become when they previously interacted on TV on SmackDown in October 2019.
