WWE star Becky Lynch criticized the referee’s handling of the Women’s War Games match at Survivor Series 2025, insisting the match should have been halted after a specific incident. In the event’s opening match, Rhea Ripley, Iyo Skye, Charlotte Flair, AJ Lee, and Alexa Bliss defeated Asuka, Kairi Sane, Nia Jax, Rush Legend, and Becky Lynch in WarGames. Unlike the men’s match where the villainous team won, the fan-favorites triumphed, with AJ Lee pinning Lynch.
Since losing the Women’s Intercontinental Championship to Maxine Dupri nearly two weeks ago, “The Man” has frequently criticized WWE officials and some wrestling journalists on social media. After the match, Lynch denied submitting to AJ Lee and accused Iyo Skye’s trash can stunt of being unfair, claiming it was rigged. She also blamed Jessica Kerr (“Perverse Kerr”), a recent target of her ire, questioning why no officials have been suspended.
Lynch further criticized WWE’s refereeing and accused the company of avoiding accountability by punishing wrongdoers discreetly rather than suspending corrupt bureaucrats like Kerr. She also took aim at prominent wrestling journalists, using derogatory nicknames for Sam Roberts, Peter Rosenberg, Dave LaGreca, and Michael Cole, accusing them of hiding the truth and calling on Ariel Helwani to speak up.
Finally, Lynch questioned why the match wasn’t stopped after her teammate Rush Legend was blinded by Asuka’s toxic mist, calling the situation dangerous. Jessica Kerr has yet to respond to Lynch’s recent outburst but had previously called her “off her rocker.”
