Becky Lynch has stirred significant controversy since her comeback to WWE at WrestleMania 41, targeting numerous members of the women’s roster with aggressive social media postings. After reclaiming the Women’s Intercontinental Championship from Maxxine Dupri, Lynch asserted that a major conspiracy was at play in WWE and demanded a reset of the Royal Rumble following her elimination by Nattie. This continuous backlash online has drawn criticism from various quarters, including WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus.
During the WWE 2K26 Creator Fest, Stratus openly addressed Lynch’s persistent social media tirades, expressing her frustration and advising her to tone down her excessive online presence, while also contrasting Lynch’s conduct with another WWE Superstar, Chelsea Green.
Trish Stratus Reflects on Chelsea Green’s Persona
Stratus, known for her candid opinions, previously shared blunt advice with Chelsea Green during a 2025 Royal Rumble interview with ScreenRant, urging Green to soften her image to gain popularity within the WWE community.
I would tell Chelsea Green to stop being such a b****. That might help. You know, people really dislike her, and sometimes in life, you won’t get far if you’re disliked, you know? You may become US Champion but a lot of people don’t like you and people want friends. So Chelsea Green, if you want friends, stop being a b****.
Despite this advice, Green did not change her demeanor. This year, Stratus expressed appreciation for Green’s unapologetic attitude, revealing that her “bitchiness” actually suits her well and adds an intriguing edge to her character.
Well, the thing is, Chelsea Green has not taken my advice, and she’s still being a b****. Which kind of works for her though. It does. You know, I kind of like it though. I appreciate a good b****iness. I feel like it is an art to be bitchy but likable. And I love that b****.
Stratus Directs Strong Words at Becky Lynch over Her Social Media Outbursts
Trish Stratus, a seven-time WWE Women’s Champion and a respected figure in wrestling, has influenced many Superstars, including Becky Lynch. The two shared an intense rivalry in 2023 that featured memorable moments such as their steel cage match at Payback, which Stratus cited as one of her career favorites.
However, Lynch’s increasingly erratic social media posts since her return, which have targeted fellow wrestlers like Maxxine Dupri and AJ Lee, have prompted Stratus to speak out sharply. When asked about Lynch’s behavior, Stratus did not mince words.
Becky Lynch can just shut up. It would be great if she could just shut her mouth. It’s just so much talking and the capitalization of the words. I don’t like it.
The punctuation, the capitalization, all of it is unnecessary. I feel like she’s being a little unnecessary right now.
Her critique highlights frustration with Lynch’s aggressive online tone, which Stratus sees as over-the-top and unproductive.
Potential Future Clashes and the Importance of the Women’s Intercontinental Title
With unresolved tensions between Stratus and Lynch, there is speculation about possible future confrontations, especially if Stratus retains the Women’s Intercontinental Championship at upcoming events. A potential showdown could bring fresh dynamics to the women’s division, adding more heat to the rivalry.
Meanwhile, anticipation is building for WWE 2K26, set to release across major gaming platforms on March 13. Fans eagerly await reviews and gameplay experiences that will complement ongoing storylines in WWE. TheSportster plans to publish an official review in March, coinciding with the game’s debut.
