Becky Lynch Names Her Favorite Rivals, Talks Women’s Matches At WrestleMania 40
Becky Lynch will challenge Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 40 next weekend.
In a recent interview with “Live Signing,” Lynch named her favorite opponents in WWE.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her favorite opponents: “Oh my gosh, you know, the very cool thing about that is I think there’s several. I think Charlotte and I, obviously, have an undeniable chemistry and an undeniable history, and I think no matter how many times myself and Charlotte have wrestled, I think people are always going to want to see more. Another is Bianca Belair. She’s fabulous. I love stepping in the ring with her. Every time we do I feel like there’s a little bit of magic that happens.”
On Nia Jax: “I’ve also loved beating the bejesus out of Nia Jax. I will say that I’ve loved it, I’ve loved leg-dropping her through an announce table on ‘Monday Night Raw,’ that was fun.”
Becky Lynch also appeared on “The Ten Count” podcast to state that non-title women’s matches at WrestleMania 40 are a sign of progress for women’s wrestling. She said,
“No, no, not at this. The thing is, is that it’s that point where you become a star in your own right. That you don’t necessarily have to be in a title match for it to matter. You’re in a highlighted match, whatever that is. So, you know, you look at the likes of Seth Rollins or Randy Orton you know, sometimes they’ll have a title match. Sometimes they won’t have a title match, but they’re always strong features and that’s as important sometimes as a title match, especially when you’re talking about women and representation and being seen as stars in our own right. I think often, far too often, it’s just relegated to, well, what are the women’s title matches and there’s no storyline-driven matches, which is the exception. When we think of how much we’ve moved forward, oftentimes, we don’t rely on our female stars as much as we would in terms of our male stars. when it comes to just storylines. It’s the title matches, but not necessarily just the personal things and the personal gripes. So being able to be in a match that’s not a title match, I find that to be progress. I think that’s a good thing.”
