Becky Lynch On Fans Not Accepting Her Insults Following Heel Turn

Becky Lynch

Becky Lynchโ€˜s recent attempt to insult the audience after turning heel didnโ€™t get the reaction anticipated by creative and the new SmackDown Womenโ€™s Champion knows why.

Lynch talked about how she was happy with the decision to turn her character heel on the latest edition of Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia.

โ€œVince wanted a different side of me and to see different layers, so weโ€™re unpeeling them like an onion,” Lynch said.

Garcia said she likes how Lynch is not insulting fans to draw heat.

โ€œWell, we tried that,” Lynch said. “And the crowd were like, ‘Ah cโ€™mon now Becky. You know that we were there with you the whole time.’ Iโ€™m like, โ€˜Yeah, look, Iโ€™m going through some stuff right now. Iโ€™m trying to figure it out.’โ€

Lynch added, โ€œItโ€™s hard for me to say itโ€™s your fault. Itโ€™s on you guys. Because the whole time theyโ€™ve been cheering for me. Theyโ€™ve supported me and theyโ€™ve put me in the position to win sometimes. And even when we talk about the first-ever SmackDown Womenโ€™s Champion, the crowd wanted me to be the champion. So they dictate a lot. So I think it just doesnโ€™t make sense that I would talk about how bad and how wrong they are. Because theyโ€™ve obviously made their voices heard and supported me the whole time.โ€

Becky closed the discussion of this topic by saying, โ€œSo now itโ€™s not about them, itโ€™s not about Charlotte, itโ€™s not about whatever. Itโ€™s about me taking what I want.โ€
