Maxine Dupri claimed the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship from Becky Lynch on Monday’s WWE Raw, but Lynch is clearly struggling with the defeat. Since the loss, Lynch’s official Twitter account has been filled with frantic posts, drawing comparisons to the style of President Donald Trump’s recent social media outbursts regarding government controversies.
In one tweet, Lynch criticized the match’s legitimacy, citing New York state sports commission rules that require a manager’s license for ringside access, suggesting the title change could be contested legally. Despite Dupri’s victory, aided by the returning AJ Lee, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque publicly congratulated Dupri. Lynch’s responses have become increasingly intense, mirroring Trump’s distinctive rhetoric, as she accused Dupri of lacking style and glamour, even mocking AJ Lee’s role in recruiting Dupri to interfere in the match.
Lynch had held the title since June’s Money in the Bank event, where she defeated the first champion, Lyra Valkyria, who admitted Lynch was the superior competitor. The latest controversy stems partly from a rivalry involving AJ Lee and Lynch’s husband, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins, who recently teamed together in a significant Wrestlepalooza tag match.
Fan Take: This ongoing drama highlights the high stakes and personal tensions that make WWE storylines so compelling. For fans, it signals potential legal battles and heated rivalries that could reshape the women’s division, keeping the sport unpredictable and exciting.
