Becky Lynch has heard the internet chatterand shes not staying silent anymore. After returning at WrestleMania 41 and winning the WWE Womens Tag Team Titles alongside Lyra Valkyria, some fans started calling her Becky Hogan, a shot at the backstage politics Hulk Hogan was once infamous for. Now Lynch is firing back hard.
On the RAW Recap show with Sam Roberts, Lynch was told about the nickname. Her reaction? Total disbelief.
Im a bad guy? Im the bad guy? All Ive ever done is be kindlovely, evento people, Lynch snapped. She recalled her match with Valkyria in NXT where she lost via a quick roll-up but still raised her opponents hand in respect. Thats the kind of person I am.
What did she get in return? A boot to the face from Lyra, something Lynch clearly hasnt forgotten. My face thats already been through hell. My nose isnt perfectly straight anymore, my shoulders popping out, Ive got scars all over my armsall of this from everything Ive given to this industry.
Lynch made it clear she carries those wounds with pride, saying they symbolize her sacrifices for wrestling. But the comparison to Hulk Hogan crossed the line.
And after all of that, people go around and compare me to the scummiest person on earth? After everything Ive done for them? Lynch continued. So now Im the bad guy? Im supposed to sit here and take it even though I havent done anything wrong? I broke through the glass ceiling. I changed the game.
With her Womens Intercontinental Title match against Lyra Valkyria at WWE Backlash just days away, Lynch made it clear shes not here for revisionist historyand she wont let fans rewrite the story of her legacy.
