Becky Lynch isn’t taking kindly to fans comparing her to Hulk Hogan.
After stepping in for the injured Bayley at WrestleMania 41, Lynch’s return sparked a wave of online memes dubbing her “Becky Hogan.” The nickname didn’t sit well with her, and she addressed it on WWE’s *Raw Recap* this week.
“I wear the scars of what I’ve done on my body. I wear them with pride because of all I’ve given back,” Lynch said. “And these people go around, they compare me to the scummiest person on Earth after everything I’ve done, after everything that I’ve done for them? I’m supposed to sit here and take it.”
She also pushed back against critics who say it’s time for her to step aside for younger talent, pointing out the double standard between men and women in wrestling.
“Look at the men’s (division.) Who you got that’s hot and young over there? No, you’ve got a bunch of old lads. And nobody’s saying nothing. Nobody’s saying, ‘Move over CM Punk, move over Seth Rollins’. Nobody’s saying that but they’ll say it to me. So, who’s the bad guy? Why am I supposed to move over?”
Lynch made it clear: she’s not ready to step aside — and she’s not here for the comparisons, either.
