Becky Lynch didn’t win the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble—and judging by what followed, she didn’t take it quietly either, as she had a full-blown meltdown following the match.
The Man was eliminated by Natalya in a surprise moment that caught everyone, including Lynch, off guard. Liv Morgan walked away with the Rumble win, but the post-match limelight shifted when Lynch took to Twitter and launched into a full-blown meltdown—complete with conspiracy claims, name-calling, and a few jabs at WWE officials and Hollywood execs. Lynch suggested she was in contact with Disney CEO Bob Iger about possibly reversing the outcome of the match:
“JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH BOB IGER!!! WE ARE WORKING ON RE-DOING THE ROYAL RUMBLE LATER TONIGHT!?! STAND BY!!!”
She then doubled down on the idea that her elimination wasn’t intentional—allegedly blaming a misunderstanding during her interaction with Natalya. As disbelief turned into devastation, Lynch claimed her planned victory parade in Riyadh had been canceled.
“I WAS NOT TRYING TO ELIMINATE NATTIE!!! I WAS TRYING TO SHOW HER SOMEONE IN THE FRONT ROW!!! HER ONE AND ONLY FAN!!! MY VICTORY PARADE IN RIYADH TOMORROW IS NOW CANCELED! MANY PEOPLE ARE UPSET!!!”
The tweets grew more chaotic as she accused WWE of misleading her about her entry number—implying she was set up to fail:
“MY LAWYERS ARE IN VERY HOT WATER!!! I WAS TOLD I WOULD GET NUMBER 29 NOT 9!!! I WAS NOT PREPARED!!!”
Lynch then framed herself as the robbed favorite, stating she was on the verge of setting a Royal Rumble record before being eliminated. At one point, she flat-out denied that the elimination even counted and threatened legal action against anyone celebrating it
“I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SET THE RECORD FOR MOST ELIMINATIONS!!! THE CROWD WAS SCREAMING AND CHEERING MY NAME!!! I WAS WINNING!!! I WAS NOT ELIMINATED!!!! I WAS NOT ELIMINATED!!! LAWYERS WORKING ON BANNING ANYBODY ON TWITCH, INSTAGRAM AND ANY OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM FOR CELEBRATING MY ELIMINATION!!! HAVE SOME CLASS!!”
Her tweets became even more frantic as she demanded to leave the arena, complaining about travel arrangements. Lynch didn’t stop there—she took personal shots at Natalya and even involved WWE executive Adam Pearce.
“WHERE IS MY PRIVATE JET?!?! I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!! NUTTY NATTIE IS MORE UNHINGED THAN MOODY MAXXINE. MAYBE WORSE. ADAM PEARCE DO SOMETHING !!! NASTY NATTIE DOES NOT BELONG IN A WWE RING EVER AGAIN!!!”
The Women’s Intercontinental Champion ended her thread by claiming widespread support from influential figures—asserting that “the truth” was on her side:
“SO MANY CALLS AND TEXTS FROM ACTORS, DIGNITARIES AND BIG WIGS!!! THEY ALL KNOW THE TRUTH, I WAS SCREWED!”
The sheer volume and intensity of these tweets led to tons of reactions across social media, with some calling it brilliant character work. Whatever the case, Becky Lynch has once again made sure her name is the one people are talking about—even if she didn’t win the Rumble.
