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.
PENTA’S SURPRISE RETURN SAVES REY MYSTERIO! LUCHA BROTHERS REUNION COMING SOON
Penta is back! After aiding Rey Mysterio on Raw, the stage is set for a massive Lucha Brothers reunion to tackle The Vision.
Why Penta’s WWE Return Should Lead to a Lucha Brothers Reunion
Penta and Rey Fenix, known for years as the Lucha Brothers, have wrestled all over, winning a bunch of tag team titles and becoming a legendary team. But in WWE, they've been doing their own thing.
They were supposed to get back together at AAA’s Guerra de Titanes on December 20, 2025, but Penta got hurt, so it didn't happen.
He came back on the December 29 episode of Monday Night Raw, helping Rey Mysterio when The Vision attacked him. The plan could be a match between them against Austin Theory and Logan Paul. But if Bron Breakker might become WWE Champion, Bronson Reed will not have an opponent. A three-on-three fight would be a cool way for the Lucha Brothers to team up again.
Rey Fenix Would Help Even the Odds for Penta and Mysterio
Penta and Mysterio are amazing luchadors. They’re respected everywhere for a reason. But when the other team has more people, things get tough.
The Vision has four members, and Penta only has Mysterio. If Breakker takes the WWE Championship from CM Punk, he’ll be dealing with lots of contenders, leaving it three-on-two. This would be a great time for Fenix to jump into the fight. He's Penta's real-life brother and respects Mysterio.
He’d want to protect them, just like they'd do for him. Plus, he knows fans were bummed when Penta couldn’t make it to Guerra de Titanes. Making it up to the fans while standing up for his brother and friend would be awesome for everybody.
It Would Beef Up the Tag Team Division
When WWE signed Penta and Fenix, fans were stoked to see them as a tag team. But the company split them up. It might have seemed weird then, but it makes sense now.
Putting them together as the Lucha Brothers right away would have been cool. But having them wrestle alone and then reunite would get a huge pop from the crowd. When they were named as the opponents of Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano, people went nuts because they knew how good they were together.
Unfortunately, Penta’s injury meant the reunion was delayed. Getting the Lucha Brothers back together would give the men’s tag team division more star power. With the Usos winning the World Tag Team Championships again, they need challengers. The Lucha Brothers vs. the Usos, which many fans have wanted to see for years, could finally happen.
Penta and Fenix Would Become Bigger Stars
Penta and Fenix have both shown how awesome they are in the ring. But, just like the Usos, they’re even better as a team. WWE is waiting for the right time to bring them back together.
The injury messed up their reunion last month, but Penta’s current fight is perfect timing for him to team up with his brother again. He and Mysterio are outnumbered in their fight with the Vision. If they want a chance to win, someone needs to help them out. Fenix is the obvious choice for a bunch of reasons.
Helping them would also add another great team to the tag team division. The Usos will need people to fight, and fans have talked about this match for years. Fenix helping Penta and Mysterio is the best thing for their fight with the Vision.
SHAYNA BASZLER EXPLAINS WHY BROCK LESNAR COMPARISONS ARE "LAZY" THINKING
Shayna Baszler calls Brock Lesnar comparisons "lazy." She reveals how Triple H fought to make her #30 in the 2020 Royal Rumble.
So, this former WWE Superstar has something to say about people comparing how she was booked to Brock Lesnar.
Shayna Baszler was a force to be reckoned with back in 2019. She held the NXT Women’s Title for over 500 days, beating wrestlers like Kairi Sane and Ember Moon (also known as Athena).
Baszler showed pure dominance in the 2020 Women’s Royal Rumble, where she took out eight other wrestlers. At the time, that tied Bianca Belair's record. Later, Nia Jax broke that record at the 2025 Royal Rumble when she got rid of nine wrestlers.
Shayna Baszler was recently on Chris Van Vliet's INSIGHT show, and the host brought up how she was booked similarly to Brock Lesnar.
She replied, “Yeah, I had a problem with that because I don’t think even back in NXT, I was ever like a female Brock Lesnar. I think it’s a lazy thought, because, oh, she’s a badass, and she does MMA.
Shayna Baszler says Triple H fought for her to be in the 2020 Royal Rumble at No. 30. Earlier in the interview, Shayna Baszler talked about how well she did in the 2020 Women’s Royal Rumble. She said that WWE kept swapping around what number she’d come out as until Triple H pushed for her to be the last one.
“I think there was some talk because Santino was going to be in the women’s Rumble, and I think at first he was supposed to be number 30, but I guess people thought that was a bad idea. It’s funny, but as number 30, it was getting late, and the fans were going to hate it.
“So then they switched me to number 30, and I think Hunter helped me out there. I think he was like, if Shayna isn’t in the Rumble and we put Santino at number 30, everyone’s going to expect the NXT champ to show up, and if it’s Santino, it’s going to be awful. So I think he went to bat for me to get me back in the Rumble.”
