Becky Lynch Speaks On Vince McMahon Allegations

Many names throughout the professional wrestling industry have had their fair share to say on the Vince McMahon allegations which rocked WWE, including several of those on the current roster. Becky Lynch is the latest to speak on the situation when speaking to Marc Haynes of the Independent. 

Lynch spoke on the “two sides” of Vince McMahon, explaining how the person described isn’t the person she knew. 

“I don’t know that person, you know what I mean? That’s been hard for me. We didn’t always see eye-to-eye, but especially in my last run with him there, and when I told him I was pregnant, he was so good to me. Apart from the run-ins — but you have run-ins in every relationship, especially at that level — I only ever had a wonderful experience in WWE with Vince, for the most part.

“So it’s very hard to reconcile that somebody else didn’t have that experience, and that other women didn’t have that experience. Especially when I had him to thank for my dream, for my husband , for my daughter, for the life that I have now. It’s hard to see those two different people in my head, and trying to merge them as one becomes very difficult. You’re reading these horrific allegations, but about somebody that you look up to as very much almost like a father figure.

“So you have to listen to these things and that becomes very difficult, because you’ve had no [negative] experience and you want everybody to have the experience that you’ve had, because I would always love my interactions with him, and that becomes very, very difficult, especially as a woman who has been so driven in changing the way that women are treated in wrestling and making sure that it is a safe space, that we are seen as athletes, that we are taken seriously, that we are appreciated for our minds, for our body of work, and for what we do in the ring.”

The allegations and Janel Grant lawsuit brought about Vince McMahon’s permanent retirement from WWE and TKO earlier this year.
