Becky Lynch recently dropped a heavy backstage story that instantly set the wrestling world ablazebut one name fans jumped to might be completely wrong.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer says Vince McMahon is not the man Lynch was referring to. Lynch appeared on Somethings Burning alongside Seth Rollins, where she opened up about an unsettling warning she received during her early WWE career. She revealed that women were told to avoid certain male wrestlers backstage, especially one main roster talent who allegedly used his status to manipulate and blacklist womenwhether they slept with him or not.
The moment she added you know him definitely, fans immediately began speculatingand many pointed fingers at Vince McMahon. But Meltzer quickly shot that down on Wrestling Observer Radio:
Meltzer was critical of the fallout, noting how Lynchs refusal to name the person allowed wild speculation to take over:
He also emphasized that Vince, as an executive, wouldnt fall under the main roster performer label Becky used. Instead, Meltzer believes the subject is a full-time in-ring talent who held sway during Beckys initial run.
While Lynch never intended to expose a specific name, her honesty has opened the door to a storm of guessing gamesand Meltzers clarification was a direct attempt to quiet the noise around one of the most controversial figures in wrestling history.
Do you think Becky Lynch shouldve named the wrestler to avoid the speculation? Or was her choice to stay silent the right call? Sound off in the comments below.
