Becky Lynch’s lawyers have issued a surprising request to WWE management ahead of the next Monday Night RAW, following her recent loss of the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship to Maxxine Dupri. This unusual legal demand, directly referencing concerns about ants in the ring, centers on ensuring the arena is inspected by pest specialists before the event.
After her championship defeat, Becky Lynch—often known as “The Man”—was featured in a dramatic segment on RAW, clashing with her rival Maxxine Dupri. Tensions rose when Lynch confronted Dupri in the ring and, following a heated verbal exchange, initiated an attack. However, Dupri turned the tables, locking Lynch in an ankle hold and forcing her to tap out—a moment that further fueled their ongoing rivalry. Lynch later dismissed the incident, claiming her tapping wasn’t a sign of submission but rather a reaction to crushing ants she believed were present in the ring.
Unconventional Legal Action Demands Ant-Free Arena
Earlier today, Becky Lynch shared on X (formerly Twitter) that her legal representatives have instructed WWE to enlist pest and insect experts to examine the arena ahead of the coming Monday Night RAW. This demand specifically aims to ensure there is no repeat of what Lynch described as an “ant infestation” during the event. She emphasized that ants have no place in professional wrestling.
“My lawyers have DEMANDED that pest and insect specialist sweep the arena ahead of MONDAY NIGHT RAW to make sure there is not another ant INFESTATION! WRESTLING SHOULD BE ANT FREE!!!!!”

Lynch’s emphatic plea highlights her concern for the conditions within the WWE arena, underscoring her ongoing discomfort and intense frustration following her recent defeats and public setbacks.
Escalation Between Becky Lynch and Maxxine Dupri
Lynch’s distress compounded following her second on-screen humiliation at the hands of Maxxine Dupri, where she was made to tap out for the second time. Taking to social media after the episode, Lynch accused Dupri of being an “illegitimate champion” and intensified her persona by theatrically demanding Dupri’s arrest, claiming the championship had been “stolen.”
“Now, everybody saw exactly what I’m talking about. Moody Maxxine goes out there, illegitimate champ, holding my title, which, by the way, there should have been police there to arrest her, because she didn’t own that. She stole that… And actually, we should have the cops here to arrest you. I’m gonna go, I’m gonna go find them, actually. Let me call 911.”
