Becky Lynch Claims WWE Star Blacklisted Women Who Refused to Sleep With Him

Becky Lynch just pulled back the curtain on one of the darkest backstage secrets from her early days in WWE—and it involves a main roster star weaponizing his status against female talent.

Speaking on the Something’s Burning show, Lynch revealed that during her early run with the company, women were explicitly warned about one particular male wrestler. According to her, this individual was known for using his power to control women’s careers depending on whether or not they agreed to sleep with him. The worst part? Whether they said yes or no, the outcome was the same—he could blacklist them either way.

“At the time it was also, ‘Stay away from the boys. Don’t go near the boys. No, stay away from the boys.’ But it was certain things like — I’m not going to name names, but there was a guy on the main roster who was like, ‘Be careful. Be careful, because if — one, he’ll try to sleep with you. If he sleeps with you, then he’ll blacklist you. And if he tries to sleep with you and you don’t sleep with him, he’ll also blacklist you.’ So there was this line that you had to walk — this tightrope. You know him definitely. But anyway, at one point, it was like, how do you walk this line of, you know what I mean.”

Lynch went on to explain that the fear didn’t stop there. For women trying to make it in WWE, even being in a relationship with someone backstage felt like a gamble. If things went bad, the fallout was rarely fair.

“So there was always this thing of, like, if you get into a relationship and things go south, they’re not going to fire the guy. They’re always going to fire the girl. You know? So it was a very, very scary thing.”

These revelations aren’t just shocking—they’re a reminder of how far women’s wrestling has come, and why continued accountability is still necessary. Lynch’s honesty gives fans a clearer look at what female wrestlers once had to endure just to survive in the business.
