Following her controversial return and subsequent heel turn around WrestleMania 41, Becky Lynch has responded fiercely to online fans dubbing her “Becky Hogan.” The comparison arose after Lynch replaced an injured Bayley, won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles with Lyra Valkyria, lost them the next night on Raw, and then attacked Valkyria, later admitting she orchestrated Bayley’s removal.
Lynch is set to challenge Valkyria for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship at WWE Backlash.Fans compared this sequence to controversial Hulk Hogan moments, suggesting Lynch unfairly took a spot and a title. Speaking on the Raw Recap, Lynch addressed the comparisons.
“I’m the bad guy? I’m the bad guy?” Lynch questioned. “All I’ve done is be lovely… I wear the scars of what I’ve done on my body. I wear them with pride because of all I’ve given back, and these people go around and they compare me to this scummy person on earth? After everything I’ve done, and I’m the bad guy?”
She contrasted her past actions, like raising Valkyria’s hand after a loss in NXT, with being attacked now, concluding, “I’m supposed to sit here and take it… I broke through glass ceilings. I changed the game.”
