Becky Lynch, Trish Stratus, and Lita defeated Damage CTRL on the inaugural night of WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles, CA.
During a recent appearance on the Know Mercy with Stephen A. Smith podcast, Becky Lynch shared her perspective on WWE’s growing female audience and women buying more merchandise compared to the male fanbase.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
Becky Lynch on 40% of WWE’s audience being women: “I think our female audience is 40% now? And I think you get that relatability. For example, the UFC, I prefer watching the women fight, because I’m a woman, so I can picture myself in that regard. It’s just … we’re all just people doing a sport. We’re all just telling stories. I think, gender aside, we do bring in a larger female audience because we show what [women are] capable [of]. But, in general, I think we’re at this stage, where, gender be damned, we’re just flowing with our stories and we’re just [WWE] Superstars.”
On the female audience buying more merchandise: “Well, we like to shop a lot. So we spend a lot of money.”
