The social media skirmish between WWE superstar Becky Lynch and radio host Sam Roberts has resulted in a variety of responses, with Lynch accusing Roberts of using social media to cheat. The origin of the dispute is not recent; Roberts has been negative almost every time the discussion moved to Lynch’s career, particularly on wrestling panels.

Becky Lynch is known for her firm grip on grudges. The reigning ‘Man’ of the ring, a former WWE women’s champion, recently made an audacious public statement against the radio host by using a single word. This word was ‘cheater,’ a label that Roberts had taken to ridicule. The term brings up the long-standing feud between Roberts and Lynch; it was Roberts who was loudest, most often critical, about Lynch and her wrestling methods.
The post by Lynch was unapologetically straightforward, devoid of any embellishments. It was the bad girl, self-assured image that she has lately been playing to perfection. She was not merely commenting on the situation; she was going to war and was fully conscious of the fact that her very large audience would support her and take her lead. It is nothing new but the re-establishment of a story where Lynch is the one directing her narrative as well as pushing back all media that she considers to have wronged her. For Roberts, a man who has relied on holding strong opinions, this is just another skirmish in the ongoing warfare of words.
The reactions from internet users got immediate and excessively polarized, which in one way reflected the wrestling fandom of today. A significant portion of the audience was quick to show their support for Lynch, praising her insult. One user remarked, “That’s so damn funny,” and he/she even added some laughing emojis to make it even clearer. Another admirer took the opportunity to mock Roberts by declaring, “To hell with you, Sam! Go Becks!” It was also implicit that one of the comments referred to an aspect of Lynch upraising Roberts just by being in a feud with him, with one comment stating, “He should thank you for making him famous.”
However, the doubters are still whispering. A group of critics was opposed to her acting and considered it a case of overstepping the mark, which might be an indication of the diminishing of Lynch’s popularity that she took for granted. “Becky you’re on a generational run but chill already,” one spectator pleaded, implying a wish for the times when Lynch would devote all her vigor to wrestling only like the other top wrestlers. Another one chimed in that longing for support saying, “You’ve had your fun, now is enough.” Such split opinions show that the moment’s major stars are always treading on a tightrope as far as their feuds are not allowed to go stale or, even worse, to divert attention from their in-ring accomplishments.
SAD day for him, TREMENDOUS day for ME!!! Look at SCAM ROBERTS and his dopey face. He sat there stunned, absolutely SHOCKED!!! He knows GREATNESS when it walks in the room! He knows his days of spreading lies and misinformation are OVER!!! Oh, and by the way, YOU’RE WELCOME… pic.twitter.com/ItFYZrrK4z

Some comments were quite funny and even absurd. one person even suggested that Lynch should rename the championship belt to “the Interstellar Planetary Championship” and declare her “the greatest female wrestler in the universe.” another person just posted a GIF with the caption “heavy 2019 vibes happening here,” a clear reference to the pinnacle of Lynch’s first ‘The Man’ craze, implying that this current outburst is a conscious echo of that era’s rebellious spirit.

It is still uncertain if this will escalate into a major public feud or not, but the waiting is on. For now, Becky Lynch has proudly demonstrated that she is not only the number one wrestler in the ring but also the number one talker on the mic and the number one on the timeline. She has complete command of the story, she responds to her critics on her own terms, and she keeps her name involved in discussions. In the realm of sports entertainment, that skill to create a conversation—be it in a good or bad way—is the same as holding a championship belt. The news has been out and, as always, the fans had plenty to say about it. Her recent award win further cements her status.
