Becky Lynch calls out Pearce after a heated sequence of events on WWE RAW, intensifying her criticism of RAW General Manager Adam Pearce just days following her loss at Wrestlepalooza. The latest confrontation unfolded on December 22, when Lynch, already frustrated after losing a mixed tag team match alongside Seth Rollins to CM Punk and AJ Lee, amplified her grievances on live television and social media.
Lynch’s dissatisfaction with Pearce’s management has been simmering, marked by repeated public rebukes and a string of harsh nicknames aimed at the RAW GM. Leveraging both in-ring drama and online platforms, Lynch has been relentless in her crusade, raising questions about Pearce’s decisions and the working environment under his jurisdiction.
Incident With Maxxine Dupri Sparks Latest Outrage
The controversy escalated during the December 22 episode when Women’s Intercontinental Champion Maxxine Dupri entered the ring to promote her upcoming title defense. Lynch, refusing to wait, stormed into the ring and began a physical confrontation. Dupri retaliated, overpowering Lynch and locking her in the Ankle Lock submission hold. Despite it being a non-competitive segment, Lynch ended up tapping out in an effort to escape the hold.
This moment was quickly picked up online. The well-known fan “Brock Lesnar Guy” published a video on the social platform X, defending Lynch and humorously suggesting she tapped not due to Dupri’s hold, but because she was clearing ants from the ring. In response, Lynch reposted the clip, shifting focus to Pearce, whom she accused of failing to provide a safe environment for WWE performers.
Fan Support and Social Media Amplifies the Situation
Soon after the clip went viral, “Brock Lesnar Guy” revealed he would not attend further wrestling events, fueling speculation about external pressures or retaliation. Lynch seized upon this, amplifying her criticism of both Pearce and Maxxine Dupri in another social media statement, expressing deep concern for her supporters.
“I find this VERY CONCERNING!!! This BRAVE BECKY BELIEVER spoke up during ANT-GATE and now he’s being forced not to come to shows anymore?! BY WHO?!? Maybe that TYRANT Petty Pearce?!? Did MOODY Maxxine possibly threaten Mike after he gave his 1st hand account of the infestation of ants on the sacred wrestling mat?! THIS MONDAY I am fighting for YOU, the WWE Universe, so that THIS doesn’t happen to you!!”

By taking up the cause of a single outspoken supporter, she portrays herself as both an ally to fans and an adversary to the current administration.
