WWE RAW and SmackDown Live Women’s Champion Becky Lynch was interviewed by Sports Illustrated to talk about her historic WrestleMania 35 win. Lynch defeated Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in a Triple Threat Winner Takes All main event, the first women’s match in WWE history to headline a WrestleMania.
“The Man” discussed proving people right and silencing doubters with the win, Ronda Rousey not being able to handle a WWE schedule, and approaching her career like a political campaign.
Here are the highlights:
Proving people right, and silencing doubters with her WrestleMania win:
It’s amazing to prove people right, it’s amazing to prove people wrong,” said Lynch. “I’ve got a lot of people to prove right, I’ve got a lot of people to prove wrong. I wouldn’t be in this position if it weren’t for the fans, if it weren’t for the people.
Ronda Rousey not being able to handle a WWE schedule:
Only four months after having a part-time schedule, after making her debut at WrestleMania—having been on the cover of everything, just handed everything, she was crying in her kitchen about how she couldn’t make her husband breakfast,” said Lynch. “She couldn’t hack our schedule. Yet we do this every single night, 52 weeks a year, yet she couldn’t handle it for four months.
Approaching her career like a political campaign:
I approach this as a political campaign,” explained Lynch. “Any time I’ve the opportunity to get my voice out there, get myself heard and my message across, I use it. I want to make sure I do the people proud.
