The current WWE Champion has revealed plans to take a break from social media following recent events. During the Women’s Royal Rumble match in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch was eliminated by Nattie. Afterward, Lynch threatened to call off next year’s WrestleMania 43, scheduled for Riyadh, citing unfair treatment. She was also noticeably missing from Monday’s WWE Raw episode, explaining that she was consulting with her lawyer about the situation. Now, Lynch has confirmed she will be stepping back from social media for a time.
In her statement, she said:
“After this weekend’s events, I have decided to take a break from social media. Please respect my privacy at this time – BTB.”
Before this announcement, her latest post expressed appreciation for fan support and asserted her status as the top inspirational athlete, despite setbacks:
“I have received letters, cards, and emails expressing how much I mean to you. I’m the greatest inspirational athlete in history! Even if I fail at the Royal Rumble, I don’t have to give up!! (That’s what John Cena does). Well, don’t worry, I’m still your Intercontinental Champion! I’m still the best ever! I’m not a TOTAL DIVA or a LOW KEY LEGEND (whatever that means). I’m Big Bex!!!!”
Fan Take:
This development is significant for WWE fans as Becky Lynch’s social media break signals deeper tensions behind the scenes, potentially impacting upcoming major events like WrestleMania. Her stance also highlights ongoing issues around athlete treatment, which could prompt important changes within the wrestling world.
