Following her strong performance at WWE Evolution, Becky Lynch confronted the ongoing comparisons linking her to Hulk Hogan, known in wrestling for his longstanding dominance and creative control. Fans and critics alike dubbed Lynch “Becky Hogan,” suggesting that she always receives top title opportunities when she returns to the ring. Lynch challenged this narrative after defending her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship, asserting her unique identity in the wrestling world.
Lynch’s Firm Rejection of the “Becky Hogan” Label
In a bold statement, Lynch emphasized she is her own person and will continue to prove herself in the ring.
“You can call me Becky Hogan, I ain’t Becky Hogan, I’m Becky freaking Lynch and I’m gonna keep doing this until there is someone better than me, but spoiler, there ain’t gonna be!”
she declared, rejecting the notion that her success mirrors Hogan’s due to behind-the-scenes influence.
Previously, on RAW Recap in early May 2025, Lynch made it clear she does not want to be associated with Hogan, whom she referred to as the “scummiest person on Earth.” This further underscored her desire to distance herself from that legacy and establish her own career path.
Successful Title Defense at WWE Evolution Solidifies Lynch’s Reign
At WWE Evolution, Lynch retained her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship in a competitive match against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. The bout was highly praised for its intensity and main-event caliber, showcasing Lynch’s skill and determination. During the match, Lynch capitalized on a moment when Bayley attempted to pin Valkyria, quickly executing a backslide to secure her victory and maintain her championship status.
The Significance of Lynch’s Stand Against Comparisons
By confronting the comparisons to Hogan, Becky Lynch asserts her individuality and commitment to earning every victory through talent and hard work, rather than relying on backstage leverage. This stance reflects not only her confidence but also the changing landscape of professional wrestling, where female wrestlers continue to break new ground. As Lynch remains at the forefront of the sport, her rejection of the “Becky Hogan” label signals a dedication to building her legacy independently and inspiring others to do the same.
