REAL TALK: BECKY LYNCH, SETH ROLLINS SHARE HEARTBREAKING FAN ROUX STORY
Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins reveal their daughter Roux gets upset and cries when the WWE crowd chants that her "mama sucks."
Since turning to the dark side, Becky Lynch has become a top villain in WWE. Even though he's been out with an injury, Seth Rollins was also disliked when he led The Vision and pulled off what some called The Ruse of the Century to grab the World Heavyweight Title.
Usually, it's understood that wrestling fans boo the bad guys, and their families know it's all part of the act. But it seems Rollins and Lynch's daughter, Roux, doesn't quite get it. She gets upset when fans boo her parents.
Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins Talk About Roux's Reaction to Fans Booing Them
The couple recently appeared on Something's Burning. Host Bert Kreischer asked them how tough it is to explain to their 5-year-old that they're just playing characters on TV.
Becky Lynch remembered a Money In The Bank event a few years back when Roux saw her perform live for the first time. Lynch said that while her daughter was okay with her being a mean character, she got really upset when the crowd started chanting, "Becky sucks." Lynch said Roux was so sad that she started crying, and Lynch still struggles to explain to her why fans dislike her character.
Seth Rollins added that Roux asked him why people hated her mom at the same event. He had just finished his match and went straight to the bus to see his daughter. He also mentioned watching a recent episode of RAW with Roux, where she asked if fans liked her mom again. He had to explain that it was Lynch’s job to be the bad guy.
Here's what they said:
“[Becky Lynch]: Oh gosh, we’ve been trying to do that. She was very upset. She went to sit in the front row, the first time she’d ever watched the show. She’d been starting to get into wrestling music, less so the actual wrestling part. So she was sitting in the front row. She had watched the women’s ladder match, and she loved it. And then I came out, and now I’m the heel and the bad guy. She was okay with me being mean. She was okay with me getting beaten up. But when the crowd started chanting, ‘Becky sucks,’ she could not take it. She was like, ‘My mama doesn’t suck. Why are they saying Mama sucks?’ And then she burst into tears and had to come back. I was trying to explain to her that it’s me doing my job. It means I’m good at my job. I want them to say Becky sucks. She said, ‘But you don’t suck.’ She still doesn’t get it. Every now and again, she’ll ask, ‘Why were they saying Mama sucks?’
[Seth Rollins]: Yeah, it was Money in the Bank, and I had just come back from my ladder match. I was miserable. I was so angry, and I went to the bus to see my kid because I went straight from the ring to the bus. I was so mad. I saw my daughter, and I was so happy to see her. She takes me out of that for a minute. Then she said, ‘Why were they saying Mama sucks? Why were they saying, ‘Mama sucks’? We even watched her on Monday, a couple of weeks ago. She was wrestling, and we were watching on TV, and she asked, ‘Did they like Mama?’ I said, ‘No, no, baby, they have to boo her. That’s Mama doing her job.’ She gets so upset about it.” (1:09:02–1:02:19)
Even though they're known as villains, hopefully, this story will make fans see Lynch and Rollins in a new light.
THE SHIELD FACTOR: WHY SETH ROLLINS BELIEVES SPLITTING THE TEAM SAVED THREE LEGENDARY CAREERS
Is the Shield reuniting? Seth Rollins shuts down fans as Roman Reigns prepares to battle CM Punk at WrestleMania 2026.
Seth Rollins has always been a lightning rod in wrestling, and he still feels the fallout from breaking up The Shield. Back in June 2014, he took everyone by surprise; he just turned on Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose with a steel chair, siding with Triple H and The Authority. That moment didn’t just shake up The Shield. It changed wrestling for good.
He talked about it on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe not long ago, saying that one decision flipped the whole industry on its head. The three of them, Rollins, Reigns, and Ambrose, had found their groove as a team. But splitting up was the push they all needed. If they’d stayed together, no way would they have become the stars they are now. Still, after all these years, Rollins gets grilled by grown adults! asking him why he did it.
“I still get asked about that. Seriously, it’s been 12 years, and people come up to me and say, ‘Why’d you break up The Shield?’ These are adults! They watched it as teens, sure, but come on. You know it’s not real. Does it really hurt that much? Wow,” he said. He just can’t believe a scripted moment from so long ago still hits people so hard.
No one can argue with what The Shield did for wrestling. All three guys are either holding or chasing world titles in WWE and AEW. Right now, Rollins has his own battles. He’s heading toward WrestleMania 42, but he’s coming off emergency surgery for a hernia, and that’s thrown his plans into chaos. Wrestling Observer Radio even reported that his big match against a returning rival might be off the table.
Roman Reigns, on the other hand, is gearing up for a huge showdown with CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship. And with Elimination Chamber coming up in Chicago on February 28, 2026, everyone’s watching the top stars. On the February 16 episode of Raw, Je’Von Evans punched his ticket to the Men’s Elimination Chamber by beating GUNTHER and Dominik Mysterio. Now he’s in there with Randy Orton, LA Knight, and Cody Rhodes.
For the women, Asuka, Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton, and Alexa Bliss have already made it in. WWE is feeling the heat about ticket sales for WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium, so they’re leaning hard on the stories and history of their biggest names to pump up excitement for the two-night event in April.
INSIDE LIV MORGAN’S CALCULATED PLAN TO CHOOSE HER WRESTLEMANIA 42 CHAMPIONSHIP OPPONENT
Liv Morgan claims a dream match with AJ Lee would "solve world hunger" as she weighs her WrestleMania 42 title shot options.
Liv Morgan has a wild sense of humour—she actually said that a match between her and AJ Lee would do more than just entertain fans. According to her, it’d solve world hunger. Seriously. In a recent chat with GQ Sports, Liv read a fan comment that said, “Her vs. AJ Lee would feed families,” and she took it even further: “We’d feed more than families. Like, world hunger would not be a thing.” When they asked how she pictured the match ending, Liv didn’t hesitate. “With me winning, obviously. But she’s a feisty one. Still, I’m putting my money on me.”
Fans have been dying to see Liv Morgan vs. AJ Lee ever since AJ returned to WWE last year. There’s a catch, though—rumour has it AJ Lee’s got a different WrestleMania 42 opponent lined up. And Liv? She’ll still be challenging for a Women’s Championship at the big event, but this dream match probably needs a little more time.
Liv’s still weighing her options for WrestleMania 42.
After she won the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, Liv told everyone at the PLE post-show that she’s not in a rush to choose her opponent. “I can pick any champion I want, and I don’t want to make some quick decision I regret. I’m taking my time. I’ll decide when it feels right and when I know who’s right.” She doubled down on that on RAW this week, saying she’s even planning to scope out SmackDown to see if she wants to go after Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship.
But if you’re looking for clues, Liv might’ve already dropped one—she ambushed Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer right after Stephanie defended her title against Raquel Rodriguez on RAW. Looks like Liv’s keeping her cards close, but she’s not shy about making a statement.
