The Women’s Intercontinental Champion took to social media today following her disappointing showing at Royal Rumble 2026 and announced that she was taking a break from social media. Becky Lynch also asked fans to respect her privacy, and you can check out her message in the post below.

“After the events of this weekend, I’ve decided to take a social media break. Please respect my privacy at this time – BTB,” she wrote.

Becky Lynch successfully defended the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri on the January 19 episode of WWE RAW. Natalya interfered in the match and cost Dupri her chance to win the title for a second time.

Major WWE star comments on accidentally punching Becky Lynch

Nia Jax recently discussed accidentally punching Becky Lynch in the face and busting her open in 2018.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on the INSIGHT podcast, Jax commented on the iconic moment and revealed she expected to be fired following the botch. However, former WWE CEO Vince McMahon’s reaction was to claim that wrestling was not ballet.

“We came in and they were like, ‘Hey, we got to sell this match. Like, go in there, give it your all, say sorry later.’ I felt it on my knuckle a little and I was like, ‘F*ck.’ I didn’t realize how bad it was until I looked down and I just saw her bleeding all over the mat. I’m sitting there going like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m in so much trouble. Like this is it. I think they’re done with me.’ I was getting my papers. And then Vince was like, ‘It’s not ballet.’ He’s like, ‘Sh*t’s going to happen.’ I thought I was going to get cussed out for this. And he was like, ‘It’s not ballet. Sh*t happens.’ He was like, ‘Is she okay?’ I was like, ‘I don’t know. I’m checking on her.’ He’s like, ‘Go check on her.'” she said.

It will be interesting to see how long Becky Lynch can hang onto the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on WWE television moving forward.
