On the latest episode of Monday Night Raw streaming live on Netflix, the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch had some choice words for the live crowd in Birmingham, UK. Never one to mince words, “The Man” crossed a despicable line, taking a recent local tragedy and using it as fuel for her rivalry with Nikki Bella.

While standing in the ring opposite her rival, Lynch grabbed the microphone and made it clear she had no intention of competing in the city. Her reasoning was not just inflammatory; it was callous.

“Because I am not wrestling in Birmingham,” Lynch declared. “Yeah, the only good thing that came out of here died a month ago. But in fairness to Ozzy Osbourne, he had the good sense to move to LA, a proper city. Because if I lived in Birmingham, I’d die too.”

Did @BeckyLynchWWE go too far with this @OzzyOsbourne line on #WWERAW tonight? We hope general manager @ScrapDaddyAP levies some serious fines. https://t.co/hHIEzzFMFg pic.twitter.com/P5XkkAdR1r

The comments drew a shocked and furious reaction from the UK crowd. Lynch’s words were a cruel and direct reference to the fact that Birmingham’s own Ozzy Osbourne tragically passed away from a heart attack just last month. Ozzy was a huge wrestling fan, making numerous appearances on WWE programming throughout the years.

The rock legend’s death came only two weeks after his final concert, aptly named “Back to the Beginning,” which took place in his hometown. For Lynch to use such a raw and recent tragedy to get heat was a truly shocking moment. All of us here at TheStunner hope that general manager Adam Pearce levies some serious fines over this.
