Tonight on SmackDown Live, Becky Lynch squares off against James Ellsworth in a Battle of the Sexes.
Read WWE.com‘s preview to tonight’s show below:
After a heated exchange on Twitter, Becky Lynch will battle James Ellsworth tonight on SmackDown LIVE in Manchester, England.
The tiff began when Ellsworth took to social media to call Lynch’s captaincy of the SmackDown Women’s Survivor Series team into question:
Just look at this perfection. @CarmellaWWE is the true leading lady of #SDLive…SHE should be captain of Team Smackdown at #SurvivorSeries pic.twitter.com/WCai3WRuPk

The Irish Lass Kicker, having defeated The Princess of Staten Island and three other SmackDown Superstars to earn the captaincy, took exception and told Carmella to keep her pet in check. Lynch even issued a challenge to Carmella, offering a chance for Ms. Money in the Bank to prove herself.

Carmella, however, declined, offering up an interesting proposition:
You’re offering up challenges like you’re so tough? Well I? DON’T accept, but @realellsworth does #SDLive https://t.co/OaSlrybSdM

Never one to shy away from competition, Becky happily accepted the challenge:
Oh Ellsworth accepts alright. Accepts that come Tuesday on Smackdown I'm going to shut his face and break his arm https://t.co/ThYXNXsEOw

Ellsworth seems to be talking a big game heading into tonight’s battle across the pond.

The Superstar who said he’ll do anything for Carmella went on to make an outrageous claim about what should happen if he were to defeat The Irish Lass Kicker:
@BeckyLynchWWE really shouldn't be the captain for #TeamSmackdown at #SurvivorSeries so if I win at #SDLiveManchester I should be captain…
