Becky Lynch: Raw Women’s Champion slams Mark Henry for calling her arrogant in an interview. She has hit out at the hall of famer in a twitter post. But fans are divided over the comment.
Becky Lynch has once again stirred the pot with her response to Mark Henry over the comments he made on Busted Open Radio. The World’s strongest man claimed that Becky was starting to appear more arrogant, a character trope he believes belongs to the heel (villainous) wrestlers instead such as Baron Corbin and Sami Zayn. The WWE hall of famer claimed that he would rather see Lynch as the underdog instead.

Henry said:
“Let’s go back to the Becky that was the underdog, that didn’t get an opportunity, that worked her whole life and then somewhere along the lines they go to where The Rock used to talk about himself in the third person.”
“Don’t do that. That arrogance thing is not for her, that’s for Baron Corbin, that’s for Sami Zayn.”
“If you want to be over then don’t be an a*****e. Be the person that’s like, ‘Look, I’m fighting for the fans. I never had anybody stand up for me.’
“That’s what I want her to be, ‘Nobody ever stood up for me. I had to do it myself.’
“That’s what I want out of Becky. That’s the way it was.”
This did not go well with Becky Lynch who took to twitter to issue a response to Mark.

The former World Heavyweight Champion then explained himself before adding that he would never take advice from social media trolls.
I said my truth as a fan and analyst ! I like to feel for my good guys and women! When they say what the bad guys and girls say it comes across as over confidence. Which in the real world makes you heel! https://t.co/9RciCBqXS5

I never said she was not over period. I said the opposite, Jim Cornette, Danny Davis, Rip Rodgers, Tom Pritchard,Arn Anderson, Pat Patterson an many other Master psychologist have taught me to put the heel over and over come their dominance by surviving an out wrestle them.

Becky, babygirl.. Mark Henry pretty much said you’re playing your televised character as a heel by coming off as arrogant via tweets and promos. Perhaps examine a wise man’s words before trying to get on your “The Man” gimmick. https://t.co/5Uwtryw5Vo
