Becky Lynch reacts to being featured on the poster for WWE Royal Rumble 2026
RAW star Becky Lynch recently shared her thoughts on being at the center of the poster for Royal Rumble 2026.
The Man is currently boycotting RAW and has been claiming that the company was corrupt ever since she lost the Women's Intercontinental Championship to Maxxine Dupri last month on the red brand. Big Time Becks took to Instagram to react to the poster and hilariously claimed that she was originally supposed to be the only star featured.
"HUGE WIN!!! Big thanks to my ALL-STAR TEAM (The BEST People) for FIGHTING with management on my behalf. WE ARE FRONT and CENTER on the Royal Rumble 2026 poster! My team negotiated a full poster featuring JUST ME, however I’m a giver and ASKED to feature some of the up and coming talent. YOU’RE WELCOME!!! - BTB," she wrote.It will be fascinating to see which WWE stars win the Men's and Women's Royal Rumble matches next month in Saudi Arabia.
