Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Randy Orton and Becky Lynch.
• Randy Orton Reveals How Rapper $exyy Red Caused Trouble With His Wife
Randy Orton enjoys Sexyy Red’s music, so much so that she’s in his top five favorite female rappers. However, his wife, Kim Orton, has a problem with him listening to her songs because of Red’s non-PG lyrics.
“Ah, man. You know what? I get in trouble with my wife if I play her songs in the gym,” Orton told Billboard.
“The Viper” met Sexyy Red at an NXT show in October 2024, where his wife and kids were also present. “She was great, and of course she’s from St. Louis,” Orton noted. Because of his wife’s reaction, he now listens to Sexyy Red with headphones.
In the same Billboard interview, Orton also shared his Mount Rushmore of female rappers. He named Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, and GloRilla. He called them a “strong team” whose music he’s been enjoying, especially while working out.

• Becky Lynch Takes A Shot At WWE’s 2024 Booking
Becky Lynch isn’t holding back her thoughts on the Women’s World Championship scene over the past year. Speaking on this week’s RAW Recap, Lynch questioned recent praise for the division, saying its focus was misplaced.
“Oh, ‘they had a great year’, ooh. What are you talking about? ‘They had a great year’?” Lynch said, clearly unimpressed. “Frickin’ Women’s World Title revolved around some bloke with a dodgy looking mustache. What are you talking about, ‘they had a great year’?”
While she didn’t name anyone directly, her comments appeared to be aimed at Dominik Mysterio, who was frequently involved in storylines with Rhea Ripley during her title reign, and later with Liv Morgan.
Becky lost the Women’s World Title before going on a hiatus last year. This Saturday at Backlash, she will face Lyra Valkyria for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
