Sam Roberts recently discussed Becky Lynch’s shocking heel turn on Notsam Wrestling. The WWE analyst doubts fans will boo the 10-time champion despite her vicious attack on Lyra Valkyria.
After returning at WrestleMania 41wre, Lynch won the Women’s Tag Team Titles but lost them immediately. She then betrayed Valkyria, sparking debate about her character direction. Roberts emphasized Lynch’s popularity. ‘Fans love an aggressive Becky Lynch,’ he noted, recalling similar concerns during her previous heel run.
The podcast host questioned WWE’s approach. ‘Why go uphill?’ he repeated, suggesting Valkyria might have been a better heel candidate.
Though intrigued by the storyline, Roberts remained skeptical. ‘I don’t know that people are gonna boo Becky Lynch right now,’ he admitted. Lynch’s motives were also analyzed. Roberts speculated her championship pursuit drove the betrayal, not Valkyria’s benefit.
The creative team’s challenge is clear. Lynch’s fan connection complicates traditional heel reactions, making this angle unpredictable.
