History YMMV / BeckyLynch

* StrangledByTheRedString: While Becky[=/=]Wrestling/SethRollins was a FanPreferredCouple way before [[RomanceOnTheSet they actually started dating each other]], the implementation of their relationship in {{kayfabe}} didn't come without problems. For starters, when the couple was finally acknowledged on the shows, it was just casually shoehorned in as an established fact with little regard for incorporating their characters. The best creative could come up with were "awkward" backstage interactions which had them appear very stilted, with Becky seeming to wear the pants over ''the Universal Champion''. This was also during a time when the two were locked into lackluster feuds with... Wrestling/BaronCorbin and Wrestling/LaceyEvans, whom [[EightDeadlyWords very few people cared about]]. [[BadassDecay This all played a large hand in reducing the badassery of "The Man" in addition to making Seth look like a chump.]]

** Her first reign as RAW Women's Champion is also considered as this for some people. Her feud with Wrestling/LaceyEvans was poorly handled, with Evans being hot-shotted from developmental in NXT straight into the title picture, and later getting involved with her real-life boyfriend Wrestling/SethRollins made it even worse. Though she did manage to regain significant momentum once her feud with Wrestling/SashaBanks started, it once again came to a screeching halt when she was forced to team with Charlotte and compete for the Women's Tag Titles (while failing to capture said titles and losing the feud).

* BadassDecay: Downplayed but, while still higher in popularity than she was prior to ''Wrestling/SummerSlam 2018'', it appears that WWE's attempts to capitalize into her surprise popularity boom with the fans actually made her character as "The Man" gradually lose some steam. After winning the 2019 Women's Wrestling/RoyalRumble, a strange dynamic in the creative approach to Becky's character caused some to see her push as becoming both forced and weak at the same time.\\

On the one hand, her marketing as "The Man" has gone into overdrive to the point of taking over her entrance graphics, WWE is no longer trying to shoehorn her into the role of a heel, and she has been heavily shilled heading into an encounter with Rousey for the Raw Women's Championship set to be the ''first ever female main event'' of ''Wrestling/WrestleMania'', while getting to cite herself as being responsible for this feat. On the other hand, any notions that she would be organically booked as a female counterpart to Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin have been shot down hard; she has been routinely shushed, shouted down, and lectured by others in promos such as Rousey, Wrestling/TripleH, Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon, and on several occasions Wrestling/CharlotteFlair herself, while rarely getting a chance to deliver a proper comeback until she got on Website/{{Twitter}} the next day; had very few wins on television since the injury; tapped out after spending a mere six seconds in an [[Wrestling/KanakoUrai Asuka Lock]] at ''Wrestling/RoyalRumble 2019'' and begged and gimped her way through two injury angles (her own and [[Wrestling/RusevAndLana Lana]]'s) into winning the Women's Rumble match; and later most infamously spent an entire episode of ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Monday Night Raw]]'' figuring out whether to ''apologize for attacking her bosses so she could keep her title shot'', then eventually doing so (reluctantly) only for Wrestling/VinceMcMahon to take the title shot away from her anyway by suspending her until after ''[=WrestleMania=]'' ''and replacing her with Charlotte Flair''. On top of ruining the idea of the one-on-one dream match between Becky and Ronda as well as tethering Charlotte to Becky's momentum yet again, all of this has cut away from the "dangerous girl who's lost her last trace of mercy and is coming for what's hers" vibe that first put Becky over the top.\\

* ImprovedSecondAttempt: Becky's reign as NXT Woman's Champion in 2023 is one to Charlotte's reign in 2020. Charlotte's victory over the title received criticism as not only Charlotte won a title she has already won, she hardly defended the title at all. The worse offense was that when she dropped the title to Io Shirai, it was during a triple threat match with Rhea Ripley, whom Io pinned to capture the title, meaning Charlotte went through the entire division without having the decency to put over anyone during this reign, including her successor. Becky on the other hand, returns to NXT to finally capture a title that has alluded her many years ago. Not only was Becky's reign shorter than Charlotte, she also regularly defended her championship more often than Charlotte and these matches were widely praised. In the end, Becky dropped the belt to Lyra Valkyria in a singles match, meaning unlike with Charlotte, Becky actually put over her opponent.

** Her second [=SmackDown=] Women's title reign in 2018 was fairly similar to the one that Wrestling/AJStyles went on with the WWE Championship just a couple years prior. Just like Styles, Becky played a cocky kind of heel, but not in the way most WWE heels are, and the crowd absolutely couldn't get enough of her to the point that even the most popular faces had trouble getting any cheers against her.

* EvilIsSexy:
** Alright, so the "evil" part only counted for about a month, but a massive portion of Becky's influx of fans after her initial FaceHeelTurn in 2018 would probably agree that, on top of making her straight-up cooler, Becky's new attitude and rebel-tomboy-in-leather look also successfully made her ''wildly'' more attractive.
** A more straight example happened following her return in 2021, where a FaceHeelTurn was far more effective in making Becky a heel (by squashing Bianca Belair for the [=SmackDown=] Women's Championship and persistently refusing to give her a rematch) … and with it, Becky changed her [[https://i.redd.it/u7gbso6rj3741.jpg more covering gear]] for costumes that [[https://i.redd.it/7up3950fugl71.jpg generously showed her abs]] or [[https://preview.redd.it/eg3djznw3pv71.jpg?width=768&auto=webp&s=9fcdf41bb1b843717bf57343a749d0a70fba95e6 straight up had a]] CleavageWindow.

* FashionVictimVillain: Good LORD. Since her heel turn in 2021, her outfits and hairstyles have went from slightly more sexy to ''very'' elaborate and strange. [[https://comicbook.com/wwe/news/becky-lynch-jerry-seinfeld-puffy-shirt-pirate-wwe-raw-comparisons/ One particular puffy shirt trended on Twitter and got reported on in the mainstream news media]] for resembling one worn by Creator/JerrySeinfeld on an episode of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''. And then there's [[https://i.redd.it/ez6fomq3ois81.jpg the ensemble that she wore for several weeks]] (including ''[=WrestleMania=] 38'') that drew comparisons, from places such as Reddit to Spanish wrestling site ''Solowrestling'', to [[https://cdn3.whatculture.com/images/2022/04/36b49f4d5cc0ac58.jpg Pris]] from ''Film/BladeRunner''. She clearly takes after hubby Wrestling/SethRollins in that regard!

** Her deep voice combined with her thick Irish accent can make it very hard for some to take her promos seriously... [[AvertedTrope at least until 2018]], where her heel [[DracoInLeatherPants (sorta?)]] persona and positioning against opponents like Charlotte and Ronda Rousey allow her to lean ''hard'' into her natural ContraltoOfDanger voice tone. If anything, some would even say that her persona is enhanced by this as opposed to being hindered. When she makes a threat, she sounds like someone you had best take seriously.

** Her first reign as RAW Women's Champion is also considered as this for some people. Her feud with Wrestling/LaceyEvans was poorly handled, with Evans being hot-shotted from developmental in NXT straight into the title picture, and later getting involved with her real-life boyfriend Wrestling/SethRollins made it even worse. Though she did manage to regain significant momentum once her feud with Wrestling/SashaBanks started, it once again came to a screeching halt when she was forced to team with Charlotte and compete for the Women's Tag Titles (while failing to capture said titles and losing the feud).

* DorkAge:
** The two weeks of the {{Oireland}} gimmick, and her time as a heel in the Team BAE alliance. She successfully broke out following her feud with Sasha Banks and switch to a steampunk look.
** The time between losing her first Smackdown women's title and her legendary turn following ''Wrestling/SummerSlam 2018'' is considered as this for many. Becky herself likes to point out how proud she is from having lifted herself from the literal bottom at the pre-show of ''Wrestling/WrestleMania 34'' to the main event of ''[=WrestleMania=] 35'' in one year.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: One which may have been forced by the fans if anything. During her first promo after her late 2018 FaceHeelTurn against Wrestling/CharlotteFlair, Becky called into question the fans' loyalty towards her. However, they did not turn against her; in fact when she first asked if they were with her the whole time, they ''instantly'' screamed and chanted "YES!" in response. That section of the promo came across as her trying really hard to be a heel and no one biting, and social media commentary mercilessly called out the creative team for having her completely deny the reality of her fan support. With the intended narrative undermined to death, the official WWE Website/YouTube cut of the promo noticeably edits out her jabs towards the fans and merely cuts to Charlotte coming out after her justifying herself turning against her, having her come off as less heelish, and the following week saw Becky attack Charlotte again while being presented more as a frustrated and exhausted anti-hero than a straight villain. While WWE would eventually again begin portraying her as the heel via caustic arrogance and willingness to fight dirty in comparison to both Charlotte and Creator/RondaRousey, culminating in Ronda blatantly telegraphing Wrestling/VinceMcMahon's vision for her character by shouting about her being a spoilt entitled millennial who needs to be put in her place on the ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries'' go-home show of ''Raw'', that same go-home show saw the iconic bloody face of a warrior maiden in blue. This in turn catapulted Becky to mainstream wrestling outlets, so significantly that her heel character was phased out entirely.

** Despite being the heel during her 2018 feud with Wrestling/CharlotteFlair, Becky had the fans cheering for her, even after giving out a typical heel speech and peppering in jabs at the fans. After hogging the spotlight for three years, fans have had ''enough'' of Charlotte Flair, TheAce who's already spent the majority of her first three years on the main roster[[labelnote:*]]plus one special ''Raw'' appearance during her ''NXT'' run[[/labelnote]] within any one of EIGHT championship reigns and is clearly being prepped for more of the same[[labelnote:*]]thanks to rumors of a possible future showdown with Creator/RondaRousey[[/labelnote]], and wanted Becky Lynch, the underdog who was underutilized and worked hard for years only to blindsided and betrayed at every turn with only a single three-month reprieve as a champion, to win. This sentiment was so loud and vociferous both in the arenas and on social media that WWE couldn't last two weeks before at least courting a shift in the story from straightforward Charlotte-face, Becky-heel booking to two defiant former friends each with valid points. Ultimately, they did stick to trying to make her the villain, mocking Wrestling/{{Edge}}'s neck injury, repeatedly attacking Charlotte Flair in front of children and making her cry, and engaging in more UnsportsmanlikeGloating than the Rock, but they have yet to actually make the fans turn on her. The limit of their changes appears to be having her refrain from throwing abuse at the audience that clearly loves her. Wrestling/VinceMcMahon's frustration can be tasted when, on the Survivor Series go-home episode of Raw, Creator/RondaRousey starts ranting about how Becky is a [[AuthorTract spoilt, entitled millenial]] who needs to be put in her place; this despite Becky clawing for every inch she has and Ronda being a millennial herself, with the two being born just days apart from each other.

* MemeticLoser: Not with her ring ability or match record, but rather just her downright terrible luck with allies. Becky is infamous over the fact that the poor woman cannot keep a friend to save her life leading to her being compared to Wrestling/{{Sting}} with the amount of unfair backstabbing she is going through. Taken UpToEleven when La Luchadora, the MaskedLuchador disguise Becky created to fight Wrestling/AlexaBliss, is later taken by an unknown person (later revealed to be Wrestling/MickieJames) to distract Becky and cause her to lose against Bliss, which means technically Becky was betrayed by ''her own gag''. Small wonder some have started calling her "The New" (or "The Female") "Wrestling/{{Sting}}". Perhaps the cherry on top of this was that the last straw for Becky was Wrestling/CharlotteFlair winning the [=SmackDown=] Women's Championship from under her; Sting having most famously being betrayed by Charlotte's father Wrestling/{{Ric|Flair}}.

** While it is common for a Heel to be a SoreLoser after losing their championship, Becky, after losing her Raw Women's Championship to Bianca Belair at ''[=WrestleMania=] 38'', is instead treated in sympathetic light. Keep in mind that before she became the Man in 2018, Becky has to bust her ass for years after being ignored and forgotten by management for years. Not only that, from the way the company treated anyone who isn't [[CreatorsPet Charlotte Flair]], even if they are an ex-champion, it wouldn't be long for Becky to suffer the fate of the likes of others such as Bayley. [[note]]Bayley's one year reign as [=SmackDown=] Women's Champion was treated as an after thougt after losing it and she never has another meaningful moment and was even left out for ''[=WrestleMania=] 37''.[[/note]] Considering that Becky had competed for the 24/7 Championship, her behavior is understandable.

* AccidentalInnuendo: During a backstage interview after she and Wrestling/SamiZayn [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX2qyqr6Xx0 were eliminated[[ from the ''[[Wrestling/WWEMixedMatchChallenge Mixed Match Challenge]]'', Sami, at one point talked about eating cake at a local UsefulNotes/{{Phil|adelphia}}ly bakery.

** She was again treated as this, or at least as the aggrieved face going a bit too far[[labelnote:*]]similar to Wrestling/RomanReigns when he beat the hell out of Wrestling/TripleH at the end of ''TLC 2015''[[/labelnote]], at ''Elimination Chamber'' 2019 by the commentators (except Renee Young) when she attacked both Creator/RondaRousey and Charlotte despite being suspended at the time and called her out for being jealous and attempting to ruin the main event of [=WrestleMania=], ignoring the fact she was screwed by Wrestling/VinceMcMahon for taking away her [=WrestleMania=] opportunity and given it to Charlotte (the clear Heel of the angle by this point) who not only injured her recently healed knee but had been mocking her for months. Even Wrestling/MichaelCole, who is usually the Face commentator, who normally supported Anti-Hero wrestlers who were screwed by an authoritative figure, agreed with Heel commentator Corey Graves that she should have been arrested.

** The time between losing her first Smackdown women's title and her legendary turn following [=SummerSlam=] 2018 is considered as this for many. Becky herself likes to point out how proud she is from having lifted herself from the literal bottom at the pre-show of ''[=WrestleMania=] 34'' to the main event of ''[=WrestleMania=] 35'' in one year.
** Her first reign as RAW Women's Champion is also considered as this for some people. Her feud with Lacey Evans was poorly handled, with Evans being hot-shotted from developmental in NXT straight into the title picture, and later getting involved with her real-life boyfriend Seth Rollins made it even worse. Though she did manage to regain significant momentum once her feud with Sasha Banks started, it once again came to a screeching halt when she was forced to team with Charlotte and compete for the Women's Tag Titles (while failing to capture said titles and losing the feud).

** Slowly became this as she climbed up in the NXT Women's division, as people came to see the value in her as more than just a lackey for Wrestling/SashaBanks. See Crowning Moment of Heartwarming above for how that ended up. She was previously this in SHIMMER - as she didn't make too many appearances but was fondly remembered for years after her retirement. What's more is that the only time Paige got booed during her heel turn promo was when she insulted Becky. And so far, Becky is the only {{Face}} that has ever been cheered going against Sasha Banks on the main roster.

* MemeticBadass: The incident in which Nia Jax fractured her face with a stiff punch, only for Becky to carry on all while blood poured from her face, cemented her reputation as fearless and tough-as-nails and had not just he fans, but the entire Women's division of [=SmackDown=] cheering on the following episode when she walked out to the ring, inviting comparisons with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
* MemeticLoser: Not with her ring ability or match record, but rather just her downright terrible luck with allies. Becky is infamous over the fact that the poor woman cannot keep a friend to save her life leading to her being compared to Wrestling/{{Sting}} with the amount of unfair backstabbing she is going through. Taken UpToEleven when La Luchadora, the MaskedLuchador disguise Becky created to fight Alexa Bliss, is later taken by an unknown person (later revealed to be Mickie James) to distract Becky and cause her to lose against Bliss, which means technically Becky was betrayed by ''her own gag''. Small wonder some have started calling her "The New" (or "The Female") "Wrestling/{{Sting}}". Perhaps the cherry on top of this was that the last straw for Becky was Charlotte winning the [=SmackDown=] Women's Championship from under her; Sting having most famously being betrayed by Charlotte's father Ric.

** The way she pronounced the word "disgusting" in a backstage segment with Sasha Banks. Even Sasha mocked her for it in a later segment. It was briefly an AscendedMeme and the name of her finisher (as the "Disgusting Armbar"), but the name was quickly changed.

** Detractors didn't like how she didn't have a defined character on NXT. When she moved up to the main roster, she kept the steampunk look and started incorporating her love of puns - establishing herself as an Adorkable GenkiGirl. It's one of the few instances where the main roster has improved something from NXT.

** When Becky [[FaceHeelTurn turned on]] Charlotte after their match at ''Wrestling/{{SummerSlam}}'' '18, she was outright cheered, while Charlotte received enormous boos. While WWE intended to make it look like Becky was ungrateful for even thinking she deserved a title match over Charlotte, the fans ''did not'' buy it. Charlotte by that point had had 8 unnecessary title reigns; it was apparent to everyone that Becky was the one being held back. Though Becky was portrayed as a heel on the following episode of ''Smackdown'', criticizing the audience by saying how they never believed in her, the fans were having none of it. It was so unconvincing that the creative team quickly backpedaled on the villainous aspect of Becky's character after this.
** Following her return at ''Wrestling/{{SummerSlam}} 2021'', Becky becomes a genuine heel and becomes an even more arrogant character than her previous gimmick and actually done many heelish actions. Despite this, fans' support over Becky does not waver and is still wildly cheer especially as to how she is able to put up a good match with her opponents and still retaining her work over the microphone.

** The week before ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries 2018'', Becky lead the [=SmackDown=] women's roster in a raid onto their Raw counterparts; in the ensuing brawl, Lynch took a punch to the face from Nia Jax that resulted in legitimate facial fractures and a concussion. Becky proceeded to completely ''NoSell'' it and continued beating the ''living hell'' out of Creator/RondaRousey, all while blood poured from her nose, leading to the iconic image of Becky on the arena steps telling the Raw women's roster to BringIt.
** The ''Raw'' after ''Money in the Bank 2020'' gave a twofer. First, Becky revealed that the women's Money in the Bank ladder match the night before wasn't for a contract for a women's title match, but actually for her Raw Women's Championship, meaning that the winner ([[Wrestling/KanakoUrai Asuka]]) was now the champion. Then there was the reason why Becky gave up the title: ''She's pregnant.''

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Despite being the heel during her 2018 feud with Charlotte, Becky had the fans cheering for her, even after giving out a typical heel speech and peppering in jabs at the fans. After hogging the spotlight for three years, fans have had ''enough'' of Charlotte Flair, TheAce who's already spent the majority of her first three years on the main roster[[labelnote:*]]plus one special ''Raw'' appearance during her ''NXT'' run[[/labelnote]] within any one of EIGHT championship reigns and is clearly being prepped for more of the same[[labelnote:*]]thanks to rumors of a possible future showdown with Creator/RondaRousey[[/labelnote]], and wanted Becky Lynch, the underdog who was underutilized and worked hard for years only to blindsided and betrayed at every turn with only a single three-month reprieve as a champion, to win. This sentiment was so loud and vociferous both in the arenas and on social media that WWE couldn't last two weeks before at least courting a shift in the story from straightforward Charlotte-face, Becky-heel booking to two defiant former friends each with valid points.

The limit of their changes appears to be having her refrain from throwing abuse at the audience that clearly loves her. Vince [=McMahon=]'s frustration can be tasted when, on the Survivor Series go-home episode of Raw, Creator/RondaRousey starts ranting about how Becky is a [[AuthorTract spoilt, entitled millenial]] who needs to be put in her place; this despite Becky clawing for every inch she has and Ronda being a millennial herself, with the two being born just days apart from each other.

** The era post [=WrestleMania=] 35 is also considered as this for some people.
