Becky Lynch Regales Social Media With 'Ruined' Vacation Photos and Videos

The Man has taken to social media to let everyone know that she is not happy after losing her WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship to Sol Ruca. But what's next for Becky Lynch?

If you haven't been paying much attention to social media over the past week, first off, good for you, but secondly, you've been missing out on a remarkably simple bit by Becky Lynch that showcases how apps such as X and Instagram can still be utilized by talent to tell an effective story.

When WWE set off on the first leg of this month's European Tour, The Man was living the sweet life. She was the three-time and reigning Women's Intercontinental Champion, and despite being forced to defend her championship against Sol Ruca at Clash in Italy, Lynch was care free and exploring all the sights with her "incredibly hot husband" Seth Rollins.

Ruca, who had not yet earned a victory on the main roster via pinfall or submission, was rumored to be heading into her title opportunity with an injury. Everything was coming up Milhouse, until the unthinkable (in Becky's mind) happened.

Not only was Ruca physically good to go at Clash in Italy, she put together her first complete match as a member of the Monday Night Raw roster and shocked the greatest female superstar of all-time to win the Women's Intercontinental Championship.

In the past, a defeat such as this would have resulted in a fiery storm of posts with the All Caps button mashed down, but save for one initial comment where she laid the blame for her loss on referee Jessika Carr, Lynch decided to take a different route this time around.

Becky Lynch's European vacation was RUINED!

Back before she was truly a big time player in the WWE Women's Division, Becky Lynch wisely took to social media to stay connected with her audience.

She wasn't being featured on television in a prominent manner prior to her career renaissance in 2018, and whether it was struggling with an old school can opener or discussing her love of quinoa, Lynch found a way to stay in the hearts of the WWE Universe.

Now a heel, Becky is entertaining the masses by showing the world just how miserable she is following her loss to Sol Ruca. Even though Lynch is exploring some of the more truly beautiful places in the world and indulging in fine dining that many of us could only dream of experiencing, she ended up sulking her way from Turin to Paris and beyond.

Lynch's trip did not get any better Monday afternoon on WWE Raw. She competed in the first round of the Queen of the Ring Tournament, but did not advance after Women's World Champion Liv Morgan pinned Chelsea Green in their Fatal 4-Way Match.

Making matters even worse, Sol Ruca successfully defended her Women's IC TItle in a very good match against former champion Lyra Valkyria.

WWE has two major Premium Live Events right around the corner in Night of Champions and SummerSlam, plus Saturday Night's Main Event in New York in July, and for the first time in a long time, Becky Lynch doesn't appear to have a clear path toward any of those shows.

Liv Morgan's victory on Monday took The Man out of contention for the Queen of the Ring finals later this month in Saudi Arabia, and a potential world title opportunity in Minneapolis the first weekend in August.

Lynch is one of the featured acts on the most recent marketing for SummerSlam, a PLE where so many defining moments in her career have taken place. It'll be interesting to see what's next for The Man, other than more sulky social media posts. It's possible that she may not be done with Sol Ruca just yet. Time will tell.
