WWE RAW and SmackDown Live Women’s Champion Becky Lynch was recently interviewed by CBS Los Angeles to promote the upcoming Money In The Bank pay-per-view (PPV). Lynch discussed how it feels to get some downtime after working a strenuous WWE schedule, working against Ronda Rousey, if she expects “The Rowdy One” to return, and much more.
You can check out the highlights from Lynch’s interview here:
Even though you are living your dream every minute you’re at work in WWE, is there still that feeling of relief like “ahhhhhhh” when you walk through the front door and know that you have 36 or so hours at home?
Yeah, I’m always eager to go to see my people, see my friends. I try to keep my relationships as strong as possible, because this is when you need the people that are going to keep you honest the most. You know what I mean? People that make sure that you’re not slacking. People that keep you fired up and keep you in check. I like to keep them around me as much as possible. Even if I don’t have much time.
There was a lot made of Ronda Rousey being in WWE the last year. What type of lasting impact do you think that she will have, not just on the women’s division but on WWE as a whole?
Ronda Rousey is a tremendous, natural, athlete. She’s born tough and born tough isn’t the same as being made tough. I think I saw the best of Ronda Rousey. But we also saw what happens when she gets defeated. She leaves, and we haven’t seen her since. I think that her name outside of the business, maybe, brought in a few new eyes, which helped build momentum.
I enjoyed my bouts with Ronda Rousey. I enjoyed playing mind games with her. I enjoyed the little beatings that she would give me, because it made me fight a little bit harder, and if she ever wants to come back then I’m ready, and waiting, to take her on again.
What are your expectations that she will return?
I don’t know, I don’t know, we’ve seen what happens when Ronda Rousey gets beat. She throws a little hissy fit and she goes hiding under her blankie for however long, but she is a tremendous athlete. She is the baddest woman on the planet, but I beat her.
Would you like a rematch at next year’s WrestleMania, or who else would you like to face?
If Ronda Rousey is ready to come back to try and prove herself, I would absolutely take her on. If not, then there’s plenty of other women here who are ready, willing, going day in, day out, that I would love to fight.
