WWE SmackDown Live Women’s Champion Becky Lynch was recently interviewed on “The Gorilla Position” podcast. Lynch talked about several professional wrestling topics, such as being able to take the ball and run with it, the longevity of her feud with Charlotte Flair, and facing Ronda Rousey. Here are the highlights:
Taking the ball and running with it: “I don’t think they knew I had all this angst and all those feelings inside me that have been coming out and it’s all just being frustrated, but that’s real and that resonates with people and people can relate to that,” Lynch said. “People feel that all the time and I think that’s why it’s working because it’s real.”
Longevity of her feud with Charlotte Flair: “Yeah, I think sometimes there’s just so much, you know what I mean? We had Super Show-Down and we had Hell in a Cell, and we had Evolution, and we had all these things and we’re going into Survior Series and sometimes it’s hard to develop storylines to go into all those pay-per-views at once,” Lynch responded.
“So, sometimes they get a shorter build-up and luckily myself and Charlotte was able to get such a long feud. I think that was because it wasn’t one week, or one month, or one year in the making, it was years in a making.”
Facing Ronda Rousey: “[Ronda Rousey] is based on being strong, dominating people, and running through them and that’s not how I was built,” Lynch said. “I’m not scared of losing and I have been taking a beating my entire life and I came back from them time, after time again, and that’s why Ronda has to be scared.”
