WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch has reacted to recent compliments from AEW World Champion MJF. In a recent episode of Insight with Chris Van Vliet, MJF expressed his admiration for Lynch, stating, “By the way, Becky’s rules: If you don’t like Becky Lynch, fuck yourself.” The two shared screen time while working on the 2024 film Happy Gilmore 2 and have since exchanged praise openly.
Following MJF’s remarks, Lynch responded warmly, saying, “Becky Believers come in all shapes and sizes and come from all walks of life. There are things that lie on the other side of the forbidden door!” Additionally, MJF had a friendly interaction with Lynch’s husband, Seth Rollins, during last week’s Super Bowl radio row, where their easy camaraderie was evident.
Looking ahead, MJF will defend his AEW World Championship against Brody King at Grand Slam Australia this weekend, with the winner going on to face the victor of Andrade El Idro vs. Hangman Adam Page at Revolution. Meanwhile, Becky Lynch is scheduled to defend her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title against AJ Lee on February 28th at Elimination Chamber.
Fan Take: This exchange of respect between top talents from AEW and WWE highlights a growing camaraderie that could pave the way for exciting cross-promotional moments. For AEW fans, MJF’s acknowledgment of Becky Lynch underscores a breaking down of barriers that might lead to fresh matchups and greater collaboration in wrestling’s evolving landscape.
