When was Becky Lynch arrested?
Atlanta police officers handcuffed ‘Big Time Becks’ on Monday Night Raw on February 25th, 2019 when she appeared out of nowhere still on crutches to take her rage out on Ronda Rousey, who was the champ.
Soon things spiraled out of hands and Lynch and Ronda went at it before the backstage officials came out with the police officers to take Lynch away to jail. In an attempt to sell the segment, Lynch even shared the ‘mugshots’ from her arrest and detention by the Atlanta police department.

Why was Becky arrested?
After being an underdog for most of her career, Becky Lynch took her wrath out on Stephanie McMahon on an episode of Raw on February 4th, 2019.
However, Triple H and Stephanie appeared next week on Raw and demanded an apology from ‘The Man’ in order to get her title shot at WrestleMania 35 against Ronda Rousey.
Eventually, ‘The Man‘ swallowed her pride and apologized to the pair to get her title shot at WrestleMania 35. However, things took an odd turn when Vince McMahon made his way out.
McMahon clarified that her actions in the past week have been savage and he announced that Becky would be suspended for 60 days for not cooperating.
