Becky Lynch has wrestled a who’s who of WWE Superstars during her time with the company.
RAW Superstar Becky Lynch was a recent guest on Mark Andrews’ My Love Letter to Wrestling to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked who she believes her greatest rival has been, Lynch names Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair.
“I mean, I think my greatest rival is probably gonna go down to Charlotte Flair,” Becky Lynch said. “I think we’ve just had such a storied history. And I think that’s always going to be the feud that people come back to and think of as maybe one that changed the game in terms of the story we were telling him for the length of time that we told it. It spanned over years and years, and then Bianca Belair is one rival that will go down as one of the stories that I’m most proud of.”
When asked why she loves professional wrestling, Lynch gives a very heartfelt response.
“There’s nothing like it. It’s just everything that I love all in one industry,” Becky Lynch said. “And I’ve thought about this so many times because I left it for seven years, right? And I had this emptiness. Knowing what a passion is and then being without it is a feeling that I can’t even describe.
“But the thing that I love about it is that it is a live medium, a live interactive medium where everything is happening where you have the adrenaline of being in a fight, and you get to tell a story of a fight, which is — you watch UFC or you watch a frickin Marvel movie. It’s that fight. It’s that conflict. It’s that level of violence, but we get to do it in a controlled manner, live in front of people.
“And we’re telling stories, and we’re eliciting an emotional response from the people live and in person, and anything can happen, and you have to have to be receptive. You have to be fully present in that moment to be able to create magic, and when it’s done right, it’s magic. It is just pure magic. And so there’s so many reasons why I love wrestling; it’s that element. It’s that live-in-person, interactive, responsive thing.
“I’m not the most technically proficient and like smooth; that’s not the things that I concentrate on. It’s the story that we can tell and how we can get people to feel as much as I did when I was a fan when I cared about somebody. Getting people to feel a certain way, to be able to have that ability, it’s amazing. And then just the community, it’s family. It really is. And once you’re in the family, there is no leaving the family.”
