Becky Lynch made her return at WrestleMania 41, teaming up with Lyra Valkyria and becoming the WWE Womens Tag Team Champion. However, she turned on Valkyria in a shocking betrayal on the April 21st edition of Raw and now the individual behind the heel turn has been revealed.
According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, the entire storyline was Becky Lynchs own idea. She pitched the plan in advance, returning to win the titles and then betraying Valkyria the following night.
While Alvarez initially questioned the move, it ended up being a well-executed heel turn. Though the crowd initially cheered Lynch, reactions quickly changed online, with fans dubbing her Becky Hogan in reference to the sudden change.
What wasnt clear at first was that Lynch also planned to lose the titles right before the betrayal, adding more heat to the moment. While her heel turn didnt fully hit on Raw, Alvarez noted that fans should expect her to fully embrace the heel role moving forward.
Becky Lynchs choice to turn heel shows how much she cares about telling good stories and keeping her character interesting. Turning on a popular star like Lyra Valkyria proves shes not afraid to change things up to keep fans on their toes.
With this heel turn now in motion, fans can expect to see a side of Becky Lynch that they have not really seen since 2022, so we will have to wait and see how WWE will book Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyrias feud in the coming weeks.
