Becky Lynch is currently the WWE RAW Women’s Champion on USA Network’s Monday night show. This Fall, Fox will become the new home of WWE’s other show Smackdown Live. So did Boom! Studios latest WWE comic book announcement give the news away that Becky will make the move to Friday nights? On the road to San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Boom! announced WWE Smackdown Live#1 a new comic which will feature the Raw Women’s Champion.
Written by Kevin Panetta (Bloom) with art by Kendall Goode (WWE), follow WWE Superstar, Becky Lynch, as she gets ready for the Friday night premiere of SmackDown Live in this special issue.
Join Lynch as she arrives at the arena and runs into The Brothers of Destruction (Undertaker and Kane), WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The IIconics (Peyton Royce and Billie Kay), WWE Champion Kofi Kingston, WWE Superstar Roman Reigns, and many more. Behind the scenes, unexpected alliances are formed, lifelong enemies are made, and chaos ensues as Superstars erupt into a free-for-all centered around The Man herself.
WWE SMACKDOWN LIVE #1 features a main cover by artist Xermánico (Injustice:Gods Among Us).
“The Man is one of the most electrifying Superstars to hit the ropes, and what better way to begin a new era of SmackDown Live than with Becky Lynch in the lead?” said Chris Rosa, Editor, BOOM! Studios. “Current WWE Superstars collide with WWE Legends, who are all here for one of the biggest and most unpredictable nights that they’ll ever face in the ring.”
While the WWE comics from Boom! are far from canon, it’s odd that such a prominent title would feature a lead not on the brand.
WWE Smackdown Live #1 lands in stores and digital this October.
