Seth Rollins Calls Out ESPN Presenter Over Becky Lynch Comments

Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch are the it couple of WWE.

The husband-wife duo of Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch is scheduled to challenge another power couple, CM Punk and AJ Lee, at Wrestlepalooza on Saturday, September 20, in Indianapolis. Days ahead of the highly anticipated mixed tag team match, The Visionary joined Evan Cohen, Chris Canty, and Michelle Smallmon on Unsportsmanlike for a Wrestlepalooza preview.

During the interview, Evan Cohen stated that Becky Lynch is “arguably” the greatest female wrestler of all time, which didn’t sit right with her husband. Shortly after, Seth Rollins called out the ESPN presenter for his mistake and boldly claimed that his wife is “actually” the greatest wrestler of all time.

“She’s not “arguably” the greatest. She is actually the greatest of all time. This is the first woman to main event WrestleMania. She is a New York Times best-selling author. She has a book about her life, which is an incredible read. She’s a mother, she’s an athlete, she’s an entertainer. I mean, she does everything, and she has
transcended our industry and taken female wrestling to heights no one ever could have dreamed of. So, not arguably. Without question.” [5:05 to 5:50]

Sports Illustrated officially recognized Becky Lynch as “the greatest WWE women’s wrestler in history” on February 26, 2025, publishing a ranked list that placed her at number one based on career accomplishments, match quality, and influence.

Seth Rollins’ Oracle Claims Becky Lynch Is Better Than AJ Lee

Speaking in an interview with ESPN’s First Take, Paul Heyman commented on AJ Lee’s return to WWE. He also claimed that The Geek Goddess is not on the same level of greatness as The Man.

Hell of a cliffhanger. I’m always comfortable ringside with Seth freaking Rollins. Maybe the strategy calls for me to be elsewhere at that moment. Maybe the strategy calls me to be ringside at the moment. I actually think this is a complete misuse of CM Punk’s family, to be very honest with you.

I don’t think AJ Lee is in the league of the greatest woman’s wrestler of all time, Becky Lynch, the first woman to ever main event WrestleMania and win, by the way. She won the match, didn’t just main event it, she won the match against Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair. I think it should simply be Seth Rollins versus CM Punk and the loser keeps AJ.
