During a
recent episode of WWE’s *Monday Night Raw* in Birmingham, Becky Lynch drew
widespread backlash for making a jarring joke about Ozzy Osbourne’s recent
passing. As she launched into a heated promo, she quipped, “The only good thing
that came out of here died a month ago,” referring to the late rock legend’s
deep connection to the city.
Lynch added,
“In fairness to Ozzy, he had the good sense to move to L.A., a proper city.
Because if I lived in Birmingham, I’d die too.” The sharp remark stunned the
audience and immediately triggered outrage across social media.
Kelly
Osbourne responded swiftly and fiercely via Instagram, calling Lynch a
“disrespectful dirtbag” and blasting WWE for allowing the comment to air. She
added, “Birmingham would not piss on you if you were on fire.
#birminghamforever” and lamented the disrespect shown toward both her father’s
legacy and her hometown.
Fans weren’t
silent either—many voiced anger and disappointment online, defending Ozzy’s
memory and condemning Lynch’s choice of words. Some criticized the joke as
beyond acceptable boundaries, especially given the emotional weight of losing
such an iconic figure.
