WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch has announced that she will not be present at tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw. The WWE star took to social media to reveal that she is currently in Los Angeles for an “emergency meeting” with legal counsel regarding her recent treatment by the company.
Lynch’s absence comes just days after the 2026 Royal Rumble, where she was eliminated from the Women’s Royal Rumble match. “The Man” expressed her frustration with the outcome via social media, stating her belief that she deserved to be the winner of the match. She also voiced her displeasure about not being featured on the cover of the WWE 2K26 video game, which was revealed this past weekend.
“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 SCREWED!!! When my team is done, we will rename the company WWBTB!!! THIS ISN’T OVER!!!”
Storyline Implications
The “emergency meeting” is a storyline development following her elimination at the Royal Rumble. Lynch has been portraying a character who feels victimized by the company’s management, often citing “unfair treatment” as the reason for her setbacks. By missing Raw, she sells the narrative that she is taking legitimate steps to rectify what she perceives as injustices against her.
Royal Rumble Fallout
Lynch entered the Royal Rumble with high hopes of securing a championship match at WrestleMania 42. However, her elimination has seemingly sent her over the edge. With Lynch currently holding the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, her absence from Raw leaves the title picture in a state of limbo for the evening in Philadelphia.
