WWE superstar under fire after making 'cheap' Ozzy Osbourne joke at bp pulse LIVE in Birmingham
WWE superstar Becky Lynch caused uproar at a show in Birmingham after making an Ozzy Osbourne joke just weeks after his death.
Fans at bp pulse LIVE were left stunned on Monday, August 25 after the Irish wrestler comments, which were broadcast live as part of WWE's Monday Night Raw show.
Lynch delivered the heated promo ahead of her Intercontinental Title match with Nicki Bella this Sunday, and addressed the Birmingham crowd in fierce fashion.
"The only good thing that came outta here died a month ago," she said. "But in fairness to Ozzy Osbourne, he had the good sense to move to L.A. Because if I lived in Birmingham, I'd die too."
A big gasp made its way through bp pulse LIVE, with fans caught off guard by the name drop.
Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22, 2025 just weeks after his huge Black Sabbath Back to the Beginning gig at Villa Park, and was inducted into the Celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021.
Fans on X weren't happy either with one saying: "Using the real death of Ozzy Osbourne for cheap heat doesn’t sit well with me. Just cheap and sh**ty. Do better @BeckyLynchWWE @WWE."
WWE Monday Night RAW was streamed live on Netflix on Monday night - the first time it has come to the West Midlands in 12 years.
