Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch revealed she will not appear on tonight’s WWE RAW, scheduled at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Instead, Lynch is in Los Angeles conducting an urgent meeting with top legal representatives, claiming she has been treated unfairly by WWE management.
Dispute Centers on WWE 2K26 Cover and Royal Rumble Outcome
Lynch has publicly expressed her expectation to be featured on the cover of WWE 2K26 and declared that she should be the winner of the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble. She insists that some parties need to be held accountable for how her career trajectory and positioning have been handled by WWE officials.
“For those wondering, I WILL NOT BE AT RAW TONIGHT! I am in Los Angeles having an EMERGENCY MEETING with some of the BIGGEST lawyers in the business! I have been treated very UNFAIRLY, and it’s time to hold some people accountable! I SHOULD BE ON THE COVER OF THE WWE2K26!!! I SHOULD BE YOUR 2026 ROYAL RUMBLE WINNER!!! I SHOULD BE CELEBRATING WITH ALL MY BECKY BELIEVERS TONIGHT!!! I WAS SCR*WED!!! When my team is done, we will rename the company WWBTB!!! THIS ISN’T OVER!!!” – Becky Lynch, WWE Superstar
Social Media Outburst Reflects Lynch’s Frustration
Following her elimination from the 30-woman Battle Royal this past Saturday, Lynch has been vocally challenging WWE through multiple social media posts. She was eliminated after entering at number 9 and lasted over seven minutes, managing to eliminate former Women’s Intercontinental Champion Maxxine Dupri during the match.
Lynch contests her elimination, claiming she was never officially out and that she was misled about her entry position, originally being told she would start at number 29. These discrepancies add fuel to her ongoing conflict with WWE management.
