Vince Russo, a well-known wrestling veteran, has publicly criticized Becky Lynch‘s promo abilities, reigniting controversy within the WWE community. The recent remarks surfaced amid ongoing tensions between Russo and WWE star Seth Rollins, who is also Lynch’s husband, with the issue centering around what Russo calls fundamental flaws in Becky Lynch’s spoken segments.
Background: Disputes Between Russo and Seth Rollins Escalate
The situation began when Seth Rollins shared candid thoughts on “Mohr Stories,” making clear his deep dislike for both Vince Russo and Jim Cornette. While Rollins admitted to hating both industry figures, he said he had a slight preference for Cornette due to their history of working together. Rollins went as far as calling Russo a “hanger-on” and “an idiot,” language that underscored their fractured relationship. Both Rollins and Russo have never directly collaborated, nor have they had a personal conversation, as Russo later clarified online.
Reacting to Rollins’ comments, Vince Russo took to the social platform X (formerly Twitter) to share his perspective. Russo contended that Rollins despised him because of Russo’s constant negative opinions about Rollins’ professional work, stating that their animosity stemmed from critique rather than direct experience. Russo also mocked the idea that Rollins should bond with WWE leader Triple H, adding a layer of sarcasm to the spat.
Russo Directs Sharp Critique at Becky Lynch’s On-Air Promos
As this feud played out, Becky Lynch—known in the ring as “The Man”—was unexpectedly pulled into the controversy. In a recent episode on Vince Russo’s YouTube channel, he addressed Seth Rollins’s earlier remarks and then shifted focus to Becky Lynch’s skills on the microphone. Russo asserted that Lynch’s promo delivery felt inauthentic and forced, arguing that her way of speaking did not resemble how people naturally converse.
“I don’t think your wife’s promos are good. And I’ve said a million times, I’ll say it a million and one now: when you listen to Becky Lynch’s promos, people don’t talk like that. That’s not how people talk. She clearly is cutting a promo. And that’s my critique of that. And if you can’t handle it and your wife can’t, I’m not going to apologize about it.”

Russo’s statement clarified that his opinions stem from longstanding professional critique, not personal animosity. He maintained his stance on Becky Lynch promo criticism, emphasizing that neither he nor Becky Lynch’s supporters should expect an apology from him for his views.
Tensions Spill Over Beyond the Original Feud
Becky Lynch’s involvement highlights how disputes between wrestling personalities often expand beyond their original context. As a prominent WWE superstar, Lynch has faced both praise and scrutiny for her presence and verbal skills. Russo’s targeting of her promos, particularly during a broader conflict with Seth Rollins, reveals the emotional weight and intensity often present in wrestling media discourse.
As the conflict continues to unfold, the reactions of both Lynch and Rollins will likely determine whether this dispute fades or escalates further. Meanwhile, Vince Russo’s direct approach to industry critique keeps him at the center of WWE controversies, especially when figures like Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins are involved. The scrutiny around Becky Lynch’s promo skills is likely to trigger responses from wrestling fans and insiders, affecting how future WWE storylines and media interactions are shaped.
