Becky Lynch Critiques WWE Women's Championship Scene Amidst New Rivalry
Becky Lynch's Return and Heel Turn
Becky Lynch made her comeback to WWE during Wrestlemania 41, but her return took an unexpected turn as she turned heel the very next night, igniting a new feud with fellow competitor Lyra Valkyria. As they prepare for their upcoming clash at the WWE premium live event, Lynch has expressed her dissatisfaction with how the women's world title situation was managed last summer.
Lynch has been vocal about her views on the Women's World Championship landscape over the past year. In a recent segment on Raw Recap, she criticized the women's division for receiving accolades during her absence, arguing that the focus was misdirected towards romantic storylines rather than the title itself.
Becky Lynch's Criticism of the Women's Championship Focus
“Oh, ‘they had a great year’, ooh. What are you talking about? ‘They had a great year’?” Lynch remarked, clearly unimpressed. “Frickin’ Women’s World Title revolved around some bloke with a dodgy looking mustache. What are you talking about, ‘they had a great year’?”

Becky Lynch's Remarks on Rivalries
While Lynch did not name anyone specifically, her comments seemed to target Dominik Mysterio, who was heavily involved in storylines with Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan, the two women who held the title last summer. Mysterio's involvement often shifted between the two competitors.
Mysterio found himself caught in a rivalry between the two women before ultimately siding with Morgan, forming a romantic duo on WWE television. Morgan had previously won the title from Lynch in May before Lynch took a hiatus after her contract expired. At Summerslam 2024, Morgan defeated Ripley for the WWE Women’s World Championship with Mysterio's assistance, marking the beginning of their on-screen relationship.
Currently, Lynch is set to face Lyra Valkyria at WWE Backlash 2025, following her surprising heel turn. This match will be for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship, as announced during last week's Raw. The two previously captured the women’s tag team titles at WrestleMania but lost them the following night.
