Becky Lynch expressed her frustration on social media after losing the Women’s Intercontinental Championship to Maxine Dupri on the November 17 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. This victory marked Dupri’s first championship win in WWE. While Triple H congratulated Dupri at Madison Square Garden, Lynch was upset about AJ Lee’s presence at ringside, arguing that Lee had no authorization to be there.
Lynch emphasized that in New York State, where the match took place, anyone interfering must have a manager’s license issued by the State Sports Commission. She protested what she called a “clearly rigged” outcome and warned of legal action, stating, “You’ll hear from my lawyer soon. Replacing the side plate will result in a lawsuit.”
Lynch had held the title since winning it from the inaugural Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria at WWE Money in the Bank. During her reign, she defended the championship five times, including a win over Dupri on the August 11 episode of Raw in Quebec City, Quebec. Now, with Dupri as champion, Lynch aims to challenge the new titleholder not just in the ring but through legal means.
Fan Take: This development adds an intriguing legal drama to WWE’s championship storyline, giving fans more than just wrestling to follow. It could redefine how disputes and interference are handled in WWE, potentially setting new precedents for legitimacy and authority in the sport.
