On a recent WWE RAW episode, Becky Lynch explained her actions during a disputed Women’s Intercontinental Championship win against Maxxine Dupri. The event occurred on January 5 in the WWE RAW ring, where Lynch’s victory sparked debate regarding whether she used the ropes for leverage during her pin. Known as The Man, Lynch is married to fellow WWE superstar Seth Rollins, who has been sidelined due to injury since Crown Jewel 2025.
In a conversation with Complex, Lynch denied intentionally grabbing the ropes, characterizing Dupri’s behavior in the match as excessively aggressive. Lynch suggested any contact near the ropes was accidental and part of the natural ring positioning during their intense contest.
“No. I mean, maybe my arm was beside the rope, but that is just ring placement. I have no control over that. Maxxine was like a madwoman, trying to take my leg off. My hand may have rested, I don’t think it was anywhere near the rope, but if it was, it may have just happened to be there. I didn’t do anything other than win and take my title back, right where it belongs,” she said.
Becky Lynch is set to defend her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri in the upcoming WWE RAW show, making this rivalry one to watch closely.
