Becky Lynch has vehemently rejected the “Becky Hogan” nickname circulating among WWE fans following her WrestleMania 41 return. The six-time women’s champion addressed the comparisons during WWE’s May 5 Raw Recap show, delivering a passionate defense of her career sacrifices.
The nickname emerged after Lynch’s surprise WrestleMania appearance, with critics suggesting she received preferential treatment akin to Hulk Hogan’s legendary career positioning. Lynch countered these claims by highlighting her recent history with WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria, recalling how she graciously raised Valkyria’s hand after a controversial roll-up victory last year.
Do you know what I did afterwards? Because I’m such a great person, I raised her hand. What did she do tonight? She kicked me in the face.
The Raw star then cataloged her physical toll from wrestling:

Lynch framed these injuries as badges of honor, declaring:
I wear the scars of what I’ve done on my body… because of all I’ve given back.
The fiery promo doubled as both a rebuttal to critics and continuation of Lynch’s rivalry with Valkyria, who attacked her during the May 5 Raw episode. Lynch concluded by asserting her legacy:
I broke through glass ceilings, I changed the game.
