On the heels of a contentious defeat, Becky Lynch has reignited the Becky Lynch WWE controversy, openly targeting both WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce and reigning Women’s Intercontinental Champion Maxxine Dupri. Lynch, once again embroiled in a high-profile conflict, is demanding accountability and alleging rule violations following a chaotic title match on November 17th, 2025, at a New York event.
During that match, Maxxine Dupri overcame Lynch to claim the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. The outcome immediately drew scrutiny, as AJ Lee’s unexpected appearance at ringside served as a pivotal distraction for Lynch, now calling herself “The Man.” Lee, according to Lynch, lacked the mandatory manager’s license required to be present in the arena under New York regulations, effectively throwing the legitimacy of Dupri’s triumph into question.
In the weeks since, Lynch has maintained that WWE’s leadership failed to uphold its own protocols. She insists that Adam Pearce, as RAW’s General Manager, did not enforce the necessary rules and allowed Dupri’s controversial victory to stand. The former champion has publicly demanded that Pearce be dismissed for what she alleges is professional negligence.
Controversy Spreads as Supporters Face Backlash
The upcoming January 5th, 2026 episode of Monday Night RAW is set to feature a rematch between Becky Lynch and Maxxine Dupri, with the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on the line. As the high-stakes bout approaches, tensions remain high—not just within the ring, but also among WWE’s fanbase.
A notable supporter of Lynch, known online as “Brock Lesnar Guy,” recently declared via X (formerly Twitter) that he is retiring from watching wrestling. The decision comes after he publicly backed Lynch amid the ongoing controversy, leading to speculation and further division among fans and insiders alike.
Becky Lynch responded swiftly and emotionally, questioning the motives behind the supporter’s decision to withdraw from WWE events and casting suspicion on both Pearce and Dupri. Her message was clear and charged, as she accused key figures of intimidating witnesses and threatening devoted fans who speak out in her favor.
“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!!”
