Becky Lynch discusses the Vince McMahon allegations.
January 25th saw a very dark day in wrestling as Vince McMahon was accused of sex trafficking and sexual assault by former WWE employee Janel Grant. The details of the lawsuit also highlight a toxic culture within the company with multiple unnamed executives implicated. McMahon would resign from the company in light of the horrifying allegations.
Many top stars have since commented on the allegations and how it is affecting them within the company moving forward. World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins blasted the allegations as “disgusting” and hopes that everyone involved gets what is coming to them. Other Superstars’ responses have not been as well received, with John Cena being heavily criticised when asked about McMahon.
Speaking with Alex McCarthy of Inside The Ropes, Lynch stated that she had always been supported by the company but did describe the allegations as “horrible”:
“I’ve been fortunate in my career that I’ve always felt supported by the company. These allegations are horrible. It’s hard to reconcile, as a talent and as a woman, but my experience in WWE has only ever been amazing. Yes, in the beginning, there were some restrictions put on things. We couldn’t punch, we had to hair pull, there were weird things there. Being able to push us forward, push women forward, I’m very grateful for that and the opportunity to even have my family. This company…some of these things are hard to reconcile,”
At the time of writing, McMahon still remains under federal investigation.
