At WWE Money in the Bank 2025, Becky Lynch captured the Women’s Intercontinental Championship after a year-long drought, but a moment that should have been triumphant was overshadowed when her young daughter, Roux, was escorted out of the Intuit Dome due to an upsetting crowd reaction. The situation unfolded as waves of “Becky Sucks!” chants left Roux in tears, leading security to remove her from the arena before she could see her mother’s victory, underscoring the emotional impact of the event for Lynch and her family.
A Night of Highs and Lows for Becky Lynch
Becky Lynch achieved a career milestone by winning the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against her former protege, Lyra Valkyria, ending a 379-day gap without a title. The contest reached its climax at the Intuit Dome, where the crowd’s reactions shaped not only the storyline but also the personal experience for Lynch and her daughter. Despite the wrestling drama, the night took a difficult turn when Valkyria attacked Lynch after the match, adding another layer of tension.
Why Was Becky Lynch’s Daughter Escorted Out?
Lynch later explained that Roux attended a WWE event in the audience for the first time, eagerly hoping to see her mother win after such a long stretch. Although the young fan believed Lynch would bring home the Women’s Intercontinental Title, she also wanted to see Naomi, the reigning Ms. Money in the Bank, win the ladder match. The atmosphere grew charged as chants from the Los Angeles audience took a negative turn, impacting Roux deeply and prompting security to escort her and ensure her well-being.
Becky Lynch Shares Her Daughter’s Experience
During the post-show press conference, Becky Lynch addressed questions about future contenders like Naomi, responding with pointed conviction.
“Oh, everybody wants to see Naomi get an opportunity? No,”
—Becky Lynch, WWE Superstar. She elaborated on the emotional burden her child experienced in the front row amid the raucous chants.
“She thinks she is going to come for me? She’s got another thing coming. And you know what’s the most hurtful thing? It’s that my child watched the show live in the audience in the very first row for the first time. And you know who she wanted to see win [the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder] match? She wanted to see Naomi win that match. So I have a problem with that.”
—Becky Lynch, WWE Superstar. Lynch then shared how her daughter, having watched as fans chanted disrespectfully, could not bear the moment.
“She could take me getting the cheap shots; a little beat up. She could take that. But what she could not take was the disrespect from the Los Angeles crowd. Everybody chanting ‘Becky Sucks!’ That made my baby cry. She had to walk out of here. She didn’t even see me win the [Intercontinental] championship,”
—Becky Lynch, WWE Superstar.
The Broader Impact on Lynch and WWE
Becky Lynch, recognized as a leader in WWE’s women’s revolution and the first woman to headline and win a WrestleMania, voiced her frustrations about ongoing disrespect from both fellow wrestlers like Lyra Valkyria and segments of the audience. Alongside icons such as Charlotte Flair, Mercedes Mone, and Bayley, Lynch has played a pivotal role in shaping the women’s division. The events at Money in the Bank highlight the personal stakes for superstars when their families are present, and show how audience responses can have profound effects beyond the scripted drama of wrestling.
Moving forward, how WWE handles both in-ring rivalries and the involvement of wrestlers’ families could influence the tone at future events, especially with public attention focused on the emotional challenges faced by performers like Becky Lynch and her daughter.
