Becky Lynch

WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch recently spoke with NewstalkSport in Ireland. The full interview is at this link and below are highlights:

Being champion:

โ€œIt still doesnโ€™t feel real. The next day over breakfast, I wrote everything down but it still hasnโ€™t hit me. Today, I did a childrenโ€™s hospital visit, and when the kids saw the title they got so excited. When they were able to hold it, that made it a bit little more real for me, seeing their excitement holding a title belt, because thatโ€™s how I feel. It meant a lot that I was the first. You go down in the history books. The big ones have eluded me, but this meant everything to me.โ€

Feeling pressure as the first woman drafted for SmackDown:

โ€œI feel pressure, but itโ€™s a good pressure. Itโ€™s one that I feel Iโ€™m ready for and one that Iโ€™m destined for… I just want to make SmackDown Live the brand to watch and especially make the Womenโ€™s division the one to watch. I will do everything in my power to make that happen.โ€

Her time outside of WWE:

โ€œI appreciate when people recognise me and come up to me. I find it that when Iโ€™m not in the ring, I like to keep a pretty low profile. Outside of wrestling I donโ€™t really like being the centre of attention. I like the quiet life. Apart from wrestling, I work out, I go home, I watch movies and drink Barryโ€™s Tea. Being recognised or not, it really doesnโ€™t make much of a difference.โ€

Finn Balor:

โ€œ[He] is the reason Iโ€™m here. Heโ€™s a great trainer. Heโ€™s had such an impact on my life. I had given up wrestling for seven years and he convinced me to go back. He had a huge impact.โ€

โ€œHeโ€™s going to be back and be better than ever. He was two weeks of surgery and is three weeks ahead of schedule for where he should be.โ€
