Becky Lynch expressed strong frustration at what she sees as excessive praise for CM Punk and AJ Lee by wrestling media outlets. After winning the Women’s Intercontinental Championship for the second time last week on WWE RAW against Maxxine Dupri, Lynch criticized the attention given to others instead of her accomplishments in the ring. She made her feelings clear through a social media post aimed at media personalities like Sam Roberts, who recently interviewed CM Punk on Sirius XM.
Recent Victory and Upcoming Rematch on RAW
On the most recent episode of RAW, Becky Lynch defeated Maxxine Dupri to reclaim the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. The match set the stage for an automatic rematch next week, where Lynch is expected to defend her title again. Despite her active status as champion and her commitment as a fighting competitor, Lynch feels overshadowed by media discussions centered around CM Punk and AJ Lee.
Response to Media Praise for CM Punk and AJ Lee
In response to a post by Sam Roberts highlighting Punk’s recent interview, Lynch posted a scathing message on social media:
Typical GLAZING by the wrestling media!!! SURPRISE SURPRISE it’s SUCK UP SCAM ROBERTS! When we look back years from now, experts will say I was RIGHT about EVERYTHING!! COMPLETE MORON Punk and ABSOLUTE JOKE Lee are FRAUDS!!! DON’T LISTEN TO THE MEDIA!!
– Becky Lynch, WWE Superstar
This intense message illustrates Lynch’s deep dissatisfaction with how the wrestling media portrays both Punk and Lee, as well as her skepticism toward figures like Sam Roberts, who she accuses of flattering certain wrestlers unfairly.
Looking Ahead to WrestleMania 42 and Lynch’s Path Forward
Should Becky Lynch successfully defend her title against Dupri on RAW, fans will be eager to see her next moves on the road to WrestleMania 42. Given her vocal criticism of media narratives, Lynch’s journey leading up to the event is likely to attract significant attention, particularly around how she continues to position herself against perceived industry hype.
Debate Among Fans and Wrestling Community
Lynch’s public statements have sparked conversation within the WWE Universe regarding media influence and the narratives promoted around top talent. Her call for fans to be cautious about media portrayal raises questions about the role of journalists and commentators like Sam Roberts in shaping fan opinions. The discussions underline ongoing tensions between wrestling talent and media coverage.
