Becky Lynch Claps Back at “Becky Hogan” Label – Following her shocking betrayal of Lyra Valkyria after WrestleMania 41, Becky Lynch has broken her silence on the social media backlash, specifically targeting comparisons that have dubbed her “Becky Hogan.”
Lynch had stepped in for an injured Bayley just before WrestleMania and went on to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside Valkyria. However, the partnership crumbled in less than 24 hours, as they lost the titles on RAW the next night. The fallout escalated when Lynch brutally attacked Valkyria backstage and later admitted in a promo that she had planned Bayley’s removal to secure a WrestleMania spot for herself.
The backlash online was immediate, with fans drawing comparisons between Lynch’s actions and those of Hulk Hogan during some of his most infamous backstage political maneuvers. Many saw Lynch’s behavior as opportunistic and self-serving — particularly after she replaced Bayley, took the spotlight, and turned on her own partner.
Speaking during a segment on RAW Recap, Lynch directly addressed the “Becky Hogan” nickname and the criticism:
“I’m the bad guy? I’m the bad guy?” Lynch said. “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?”
Lynch also highlighted how she once supported Valkyria during her early NXT days, even raising her hand in defeat. Now, she feels betrayed by both Valkyria and the fans:
“I’m supposed to sit here and take it… I broke through glass ceilings. I changed the game.”
The feud between Lynch and Valkyria is set to reach a boiling point at WWE Backlash, where they will face off for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship — a newly introduced title that Valkyria currently holds.
With Lynch now fully embracing a darker persona and the crowd split on her actions, this title match has become one of the most emotionally charged bouts on the card.
