Becky Lynch believes AJ Lee’s Raw return was ‘clearly a case of corruption’.

During the November 17th edition of Raw at the Madison Square Garden in New York, fans witnessed Maxxine Dupri defeat Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Following AJ Lee’s return and interference, Dupri was able to keep Lynch down for the three count. Now, Lynch has finally responded to Lee’s involvement on social media.

Uploading a brief video alongside a lengthy caption, The Man called out WWE management and Lee for allegedly coordinating the return. Instead of breaking character, Lynch maintained kayfabe and called out the entire situation as a ‘clear case of corruption’. Lynch further called out the ‘crooked referee’ and opened up about hiring lawyers.

She wrote, “LET’S NOT FORGET AJ LEE’S MUSIC & THE LED BOARDS. THOSE THINGS DON’T JUST MAGICALLY POP UP WHEN SOMEONE STEPS THROUGH THE CURTAIN. AJ TOLD PEARCE TO HIT HER MUSIC, PEARCE WAS OF COURSE FINE WITH IT BECAUSE THE FANS WILL BE HAPPY AND NOT NOTICE HIS AWFUL DECISION MAKING IN ALLOWING THIS MATCH IN THE FIRST PLACE. MAXXINE WAS IN ON IT TOO BECAUSE SHE KNEW THERE’S NO WAY SHE COULD WIN WITHOUT IT. WHICH SHE DID NOT DO. THE COURTS WILL VERIFY THIS.”

Lynch had earlier won the Women’s Intercontinental title at Money in the Bank 2025 when she defeated Lyra Valkyria.

Seth Rollins opens up about partnership with wife Becky Lynch

A few months ago, Seth Rollins appeared on ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike and discussed what it’s like to work alongside his wife, Becky Lynch.

“I think what it boils down to for me is: iron sharpens iron. You know, we met through this industry. We met in 2015 or something like that, 2014, became friends, both started to kind of rise up at the same time, found each other romantically. And then we’ve been able to really use each other as a resource. And to get out there and perform with her, the way she preps is different than how I prep, and the way she performs and interacts is different. So we get to learn from each other, we get to bounce stuff off of each other.”

He further said, “She is actually the greatest of all time. This is the first woman to main event WrestleMania. That’s our Super Bowl. She’s a mother, she’s an athlete, she’s an entertainer, she does everything. And she has transcended our industry and taken female wrestling to heights no one ever could have dreamed of.”
