Becky Lynch wasn’t done after unloading on AJ Lee — she doubled down.

Just moments after her explosive February 22 post promising to “humiliate” AJ Lee in Chicago, Lynch took to Twitter again with an even more shocking accusation. This time, her target wasn’t just AJ — it was WWE itself In a follow-up message, Lynch claimed the company is preparing to artificially boost crowd reactions at Elimination Chamber.

“Chicago Made?! More like CHICAGO MENACE PUNK! CONNIVING MORON PUNK is probably MORE accurate!!! My very reliable sources have informed me that WWE has LOUD cheers and audience noises ready to be piped in due to the fact that PUNK and ABSOLUTE JOKE actually get NO REAL love from the crowd. I hear some people attending will be paid in MERCH to go NUTS when they come out. INSANE!!!”

That’s not subtle. Lynch is now openly accusing WWE of piping in cheers and crowd noise for CM Punk and AJ Lee in Chicago — and even alleging that fans could be “paid in merch” to react loudly.

Elimination Chamber takes place February 28 at the United Center in Chicago — CM Punk’s hometown — and AJ Lee’s ties to the city only add fuel to the fire. Lynch is set to defend the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship, but she’s clearly trying to control the narrative before she even steps into the building.

From promising to retire AJ Lee “for good” to now accusing WWE of manufacturing reactions, Lynch has turned this rivalry into something far bigger than a title match. Whether this is master-level mind games or pure chaos, one thing is certain — Chicago just became the most unpredictable stop on WWE’s road to WrestleMania.
