Becky Lynch Blasts ‘Frustrating’ Part-Time WWE Stars

WWE

Becky Lynch has blasted the WWE stars who “show up every four weeks” and the treatment they get in the product.

Lynch made the comments to British newspaper The Mirror during an interview about her book The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl.

Addressing the use of part-time stars and celebrities in WWE programming, Lynch said:

“It’s easy to be special when you only show up every four weeks or however often and then creative is specifically designed to make you feel important.

“Whereas when you are on TV every week, you’re on every live event, you’re doing the work to make these people seem important, you are doing the grunt work to allow them to come in and say ‘hello, let me wave majestically at everybody.’

“It used to be a thing that wrestling fans would scoff at but now it seems they are starting to revere it more. Like: ‘Oh yay, this person has come around and graced us with their presence.’ So that becomes frustrating.”

Reflecting on how champions used to be presented in the past, Lynch also looked at the current product, saying:

“In the past, the champion would make their rounds through the territories, show off the title and be front and centre. Now that model is changing and I don’t know if it’s for the better.

“You learn by being in front of the crowd constantly and when you are in there with somebody who has learned by being in front of the crowd, you get better. So it moves the business forward.”

The current WWE United States Champion is social media influencer and Prime Energy Drink owner Logan Paul.

Since his WWE debut match at WrestleMania 38 in April 2022, he’s had eleven matches and defeated Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel in November 2023 to become WWE United States Champion.

Paul is set to defend the title against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40 in April 2024.

Lynch will face Rhea Ripley for the WWE World Women’s Champion at the April 6 & 7 Premium Live Event.
