Becky Lynch Says Maxxine Dupri Used an Illegal Object in Their Match — “Her Nails Should Be Banned!”
In a shocking post-match statement, WWE Superstar Becky Lynch has accused Maxxine Dupri of using an “illegal object” during their recent bout — and that object, according to Becky, was none other than Dupri’s perfectly manicured nails! The fiery Irish star didn’t hold back her words backstage, claiming that Maxxine’s long, pointed nails gave her an unfair advantage and even left visible scratches during the fight.
The heated match between Lynch and Dupri took place on Monday Night Raw, and while fans were thrilled by the action, few could have predicted that something as small as fingernails would cause such a stir afterward. Becky, visibly frustrated, told WWE Digital Exclusive cameras, “You can’t fight fair with daggers on your hands! Those aren’t nails — those are weapons! She was scratching, clawing, and doing everything except wrestling fair.”
Viewers quickly took to social media, replaying slow-motion clips that seemed to show Maxxine catching Becky across the face with her nails during a grapple. Some fans even joked that Dupri’s manicure might need to be checked by WWE officials before every match. “Those nails are sharper than a steel chair,” one fan tweeted, while another said, “Maxxine Dupri might’ve just invented a new foreign object rule!”
However, Maxxine Dupri didn’t stay silent for long. The Alpha Academy member posted a cheeky response on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “If my nails are illegal, then Becky should file a complaint with my nail artist.” She followed up with a selfie showing off her dazzling French tips — adding the caption, “These are my secret weapons.” The post immediately went viral, with fans split between laughter and outrage.
Becky Lynch, never one to let things slide, doubled down later that night, insisting that WWE referees need to “check for unfair enhancements” before matches. “You want to wear fake nails, fine. But when they’re long enough to leave marks, that’s not style — that’s strategy,” Becky said. The Man even hinted that she might bring her own “counterattack” next time, joking, “Maybe I’ll come to the ring with brass knuckles painted red to match her nails.”
WWE officials haven’t commented on the situation yet, but the drama has already become one of the most talked-about topics online. Fans are now calling for a rematch — this time under “No Nails Allowed” rules. Some creative fans even designed mock posters for “Nail vs. The Man II,” featuring exaggerated cartoon claws and Becky holding a referee whistle.
While the accusations may sound humorous, there’s no denying that this controversy has added a spark to an already growing rivalry. Maxxine Dupri, who’s been rising in popularity due to her charisma and fashion-forward presence, might have just found the perfect heel gimmick — the glamorous rule-bender who fights dirty with style.
Becky Lynch, on the other hand, has turned even the smallest grievance into gold before — and this one might lead to a fiery, hilarious feud that fans won’t forget. Whether it’s a real issue or pure mind games, one thing’s for sure: the next time Becky and Maxxine step into the ring, all eyes will be on those nails.
