Becky Lynch made headlines on Sunday with a bold social media post. The WWE star threatened to have several prominent wrestling journalists banned from attending tonight’s Raw event. This latest move follows Lynch’s trend of using social media to bolster her persona, which has evolved into one of her most entertaining iterations since her “The Man” journey began in 2018.
Conflict with Wrestling Journalists
In her recent post, Lynch called out notable figures in wrestling journalism, including Ariel Helwani and Peter Rosenberg. She expressed frustration over perceived bias, humorously referring to some journalists as “crooked.” The post stated, “I have asked my lawyers to ENSURE crooked reporters and so-called ‘wrestling’ media be barred from Barclays TOMORROW!!!”
- Targeted Journalists:
- Ariel Helwani
- Peter Rosenberg
- Sam Roberts
- Dave LaGreca
- Special Mention:
- Megan Morant, praised for her loyalty.
Background on Recent Feuds
Since losing the Intercontinental Championship to Maxxine Dupri on November 17, Lynch has intensified her social media presence. She has targeted Dupri with biting remarks, dubbing her “MOODY MAXXINE” and “MANIAC MAXXINE.” Referee Jessica Carr also faced criticism from Lynch, who labeled her “CROOKED CARR.”
Anticipation for the Raw Event
Lynch’s latest post was not just about the journalists. She hyped an upcoming rematch against Dupri, framed as a pivotal event. She linked the match to Netflix’s Stranger Things theme, declaring, “TOMORROW is the BIGGEST event in the history of @netflix.” She added enthusiasm for breaking subscription records and turning Dupri’s “fairy tale week UPSIDE DOWN.” Lynch reiterated her desire to reclaim the Intercontinental title, reminding fans of her championship ambitions.
As Lynch continues to amplify her social media presence, her interactions with wrestling journalists serve to heighten the drama surrounding her character. The anticipation for tonight’s Raw has never been higher, showcasing both Lynch’s star power and her ability to evoke strong responses from the wrestling community.
