Becky Lynch has completely turned her career around for the better over the last few years
Just a few years back, Becky Lynch was almost never used on tv and was fighting to just
get a chance to prove herself
This lead to Becky’s heel turn at Summerslam 2018
Only problem was that the fans were so behind Becky, that wwe couldn’t make her a heel
at that time
So the initial heel turn ended up just being a light turn which eventually lead to “the
man” Becky Lynch
Becky then capture the Smackdown women’s title in late 2018 and that’s when her unstoppable
run began
After years of being the underdog, Becky was finally the champion
This would also lead to Becky main eventing Wrestlemania and defeating Ronda Rousey and
Charlotte to become the first ever superstar to hold both the raw and Smackdown women’s
titles
Fast forward just about a year later and Becky still remains raw women’s champion
But something is slowly starting to shift just a little and that’s the fans’ reaction
towards her
this is not anything new and this has been like this for years now and that’s the fact
that fans turn on their favorite superstar and start to call them “boring” after
they’re deep into their title reign
We saw it most recently with Seth Rollins, where most fans couldn’t wait for him to
dethrone Brock Lesnar as champion, but once Seth got the title, everyone started to call
him boring and that lead to his heel turn
That’s what seems to be happening with Becky Lynch according to some fans’ reactions
Some fans claim that “the man” persona is starting to get burnt out already and that
Becky needs to evolve into something new
Becky has started to introduce something new though and that’s the fact that she is now
calling herself the GOAT, which of course stands for the greatest of all time
But that new addition to the character has also received mixed reactions from fans
Corey Graves recently took notice of the shift in fan reaction to Becky Lynch and had some
great comments to say about the entire situation, here’s what he had to say:
“It is my concern that the WWE Universe is beginning to grow tired of ‘The Man.’
This is historically a common occurrence in WWE.”
“When someone reaches megastar status, as Becky has over the last year-plus, people
tire of them.
Look no further than John Cena, Roman Reigns, more recently, Ronda Rousey, who was beloved
when she arrived in WWE but by the time WrestleMania came around, even before that, WWE was tired
of her...”
“This isn’t Becky’s fault.
It isn’t anyone’s fault.
It’s an occurrence.”
It’s a cyclical business and maybe it’s time for an evolution, another step, another
layer to ‘The Man.’
“If anyone can give it to us, I’m sure it’s Becky Lynch.
But as of this past weekend, Becky Lynch is no longer the underdog.”
“Before she became ‘The Man,’ everything that propelled Becky to superstardom is ‘she
wasn’t getting her just due.’
She had passion, heart and talent, but was never taking that next step.”
“She created her own path, there’s no denying she’s still a megastar.
I’m just wondering if we’re beginning to see the rumblings of a bigger movement.”
That was some lines of what Corey had to say during the after the bell podcast and he completely
nailed it
It’s not Becky’s fault or anyone else’s fault, but just to please this group of fans
and keep your character fresh, you have to just keep evolving
Bray Wyatt is a good example of some recent successful character evolution
So the biggest question right now is how Becky Lynch and wwe will respond to this challenge
Like Corey Graves was talking about, we saw this situation happen even faster with other
stars such as Ronda Rousey
When she first came into the wwe, Ronda was beloved and had such a huge reaction from
the fans
But after a few months, fans quickly grew tired of her, which lead to wwe actually turning
Ronda heel
It never was WWE’s intention to turn Ronda heel, but the fans’ reaction sort of pushed
them into a corner and made them do it
Now we’re starting to see what seems to be the same idea going on with Becky Lynch
Majority of fans still love Becky Lynch and everything she stands for, but it’s that
other growing group of fans that claim if she doesn’t switch something up soon, she’ll
run stale
Becky’s “man” persona will be turning 2 years old this year in 2020, so it’s not
like she’s been doing the same thing for years upon years
The man persona is still fairly new, but the problem is that some fans just want something
new and want more from becky right now
So you could put the blame maybe on the fans for switching up and turning on superstars
once they win the title and have a long reign
But character evolution is just a part of being a wwe superstar
Even the greats such as The Rock, Triple H, The Undertaker, and Stone Cold, have all changed
up their character multiple times throughout their career, so it is a normal part of the
business
However, this is a big reoccurring problem and that’s the fact that fans will go crazy
for a superstar when they’re the underdog, but once that superstar wins the title , fans
will start to call them boring and overrated
And maybe that’s just where Becky Lynch is at with her relationship with some fans
