Becky Lynch and Bayley’s Backstage Tension Revealed

Becky Lynch isn’t holding back when it comes to her real-life issues with Bayley, making it clear that the two WWE stars haven’t been on friendly terms for years.

During a revealing interview with Variety, Lynch opened up about how their relationship took a drastic turn back in 2019 — and it’s only gotten worse since then.

Lynch recalled how things initially soured in 2014 when she “beat [Bayley] up” during a match, a moment that made the crowd cheer but clearly left some lingering resentment. Fast forward to 2019, and things escalated when Bayley attacked Lynch from behind with a steel chair, an incident that Lynch says marked the point of no return.

“That was most of our ambition,” Lynch said, referring to the Four Horsewomen’s drive to dominate WWE. “Bayley just wanted to be liked as much as possible. I beat her up in 2014, and people loved it. In 2019, she hit me in the back with a chair, and we have not been in any way friendly since. In fact, we’ve been rivals in some capacity.”

Lynch’s revelation comes at a time when her backstage status is already being questioned. Lyra Valkyria recently claimed that Lynch is no longer considered part of the women’s locker room, further fueling speculation that Lynch is isolating herself from the rest of the roster.

Bayley, who was once considered Lynch’s ally during their NXT days as part of the Four Horsewomen alongside Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks, has remained silent on Lynch’s comments. However, Lynch’s statement paints a clear picture that whatever bond they once shared is long gone.

Since 2019, Lynch and Bayley’s paths have crossed numerous times in the ring, but the animosity has seemingly spilled over into real life. Lynch’s comments suggest that the two stars have not been able to mend fences, and their interactions backstage remain icy.

Adding more fuel to the fire, Lynch recently failed to capture the Women’s Intercontinental Championship from Lyra Valkyria at WWE Backlash. Despite the loss, she made sure to leave her mark by attacking Valkyria after the match, signaling that her frustrations may be bleeding over into her actions.

With tensions high and Lynch openly calling out Bayley, could the bad blood between them eventually lead to a confrontation in the ring? Or will the animosity continue to simmer behind the scenes?
