Becky Lynch has reacted to solid praise from one of AEW’s biggest stars.
Since turning heel, The Man has changed her character in a big way. She has now added more over-the-top reactions, dramatic moments, funny nicknames, and even self-made vlogs. Lynch has also taken her troll game outside the ring, and her recent social media posts are proof.
The new version of Lynch has divided fans, but it’s definitely getting attention, even from the rival promotion.
And that praise is coming from MJF.
MJF Is a Becky Believer
During his appearance on Chris Van Vliet’s podcast, MJF spoke highly of The Man. While talking about Happy Gilmore 2, MJF mentioned that he auditioned to play an evil golfer alongside Lynch’s character in the movie.
“I had an audition. I auditioned to be actually the evil golfer that would have been beside Becky’s character,” he said.
MJF then made his feelings clear about Becky Lynch. “Becky rules, by the way. If you don’t like Becky Lynch, go f*ck yourself,” he said.
After his praise, Lynch responded in her usual style on X– “BECKY BELIEVERS come in all shapes and sizes. They are from all walks of life. Some are even located behind FORBIDDEN DOORS!”
The “forbidden door” term was clearly a nod to MJF and AEW. The AEW World Champion also replied with a GIF of himself approving.

This isn’t the first time MJF has supported Becky Lynch. In his past interview on Busted Open Radio, he backed her and even took a shot at WWE’s Lyra Valkyria in classic MJF fashion.
“I’m a big fan of Becky Lynch. Hate that Lyra girl. I agree with Becky. She [Lyra] stinks. I’m a staunch Becky Lynch supporter. If you have an issue with Becky Lynch, I have an issue with you. Not into this Lyra chick. Something is up with her. She’s probably a bad person,” he said.
Both Becky Lynch and MJF appeared in Happy Gilmore 2, the sequel to the 1996 Adam Sandler comedy. MJF played one of Adam Sandler’s four sons. The movie also featured Nikki Bella and Bad Bunny.
