Becky Lynch explains her DQ loss to Maxxine.
This past Monday, the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion couldn’t get the job done once again as Becky Lynch got herself disqualified by hitting Dupri with her title. Though the challenger didn’t walk away with the belt, she did leave with a win, which will surely necessitate a rematch.
Many fans feel that Becky cracked Maxxine’s skull with her belt because the champion was afraid of losing her Intercontinental Championship to the California native, but Becky Lynch put out a video disputing that. She claims that Maxxine hit her with a closed fist.
“Hello. I thought it was very important that I address the nation of the WWE Universe. Last night, there’s been some chatter about my conduct—as if I acted in an unsportsmanly like manner. Which I can tell you is absolutely untrue in the match. Clear as day everybody saw it. Maxxine closed fist. Punch to my face. An illegal maneuver. Jessica Carr should have disqualified her.”
Lynch goes even further by claiming that Maxxine hit her with an illegal object, which happened to be her nails.
“What’s more? An illegal maneuver with an illegal object. I verified this through experts, through nail technicians. They have verified that the nails that Maxxine Dupri was wearing would cause intense damage to the lip.”
After the “illegal shot”, Becky Lynch had enough of Maxxine’s B.S. and opted to walk away.
“Something that I said, okay, that’s it. You know what? I’ve had enough. I’m not gonna stoop to any—I’m not gonna stoop to a level that is not my highest self. So I took myself out of there. I took a walk. And I said, okay, that’s enough. I’m not gonna stoop any lower. And she wouldn’t have it. She wouldn’t let me go.”
Say what you will about Becky Lynch, but she’s doing some of the best character work of her career. This was a fun heel explanation on why she got herself disqualified this past Monday. At the moment, it’s unknown if (or when) Maxxine and Lynch will lock up once again. However, it’s clear that a rematch is indeed necessary since Maxxine has beaten the champ two times in a row.
Given that Saturday Night’s Main Event is next week and there’s only two matches on the card thus far, it wouldn’t be surprising if a third match between Lynch and Maxxine ends up on the Peacock Special.
