The goal of Maria Kanellis screaming at husband Mike that “maybe next time I’ll ask Becky [Lynch] to impregnate me” on last week’s Raw was to grab our attention. It seemed to have worked, as there’s been a lot of talk about the reportedly Paul Heyman-produced segment. And The Man, and some other Superstars involved in her storyline, have certainly decided to run with this particular “edgy” idea on Twitter.
Following up on her Twitter exchange with beau Seth Rollins suggesting they address criticism of their on-screen chemistry with the Dirty Dancing lift, Becky tagged Maria in with this:
UPDATE, @MariaLKanellis. Tried this and almost impregnated myself.

Which got these answers from the Kanelli, only one of which I understand...

Be careful some people “the fans” can’t handle or understand more than just calling yourself “THE MAN.” I can be the only pregnant lady or tiny minds will explode. https://t.co/aT2D36CvRf

Lynch then took things away from the mixed tag match she had last week and toward the one she has coming up on Mon., July 8 against Andrade & Zelina Vega. It’s the only tweet in this weird exchange that made me laugh out loud. But it also brought another puzzling repsonse - this one from Seth, which I think means he is both sad that the Raw Women’s champ isn’t pregnant, but also cool with it?

Outside of the pregancy talk, The Man tread some familiar ground in responding to an attack from Vega. Nobody’s knocked up, but she’s still dragging everybody’s significant others into things. These make reference to Zelina’s husband Aleister Black, and Bex’s all-time favorite target, Andrade’s paramour Charlotte Flair:
Also, tell Andrade to ask his old lady what it's like to get beaten repeatedly by The Man.

Sometimes you’ve just got to play the hits, I guess.
