As seen during the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event, Becky Lynch defeated Asuka. Following the match, Becky Lynch was interviewed backstage and she said the following,
“Yeah, yeah I do. Feeling a little bit emotional now. It’s just this has been the one stain in an almost perfect year. And I knew — she is incredible. She is incredible. I couldn’t keep her down, and I knew it was going to take a lot, but there was no way I was giving up. There was no way I was staying down for the count of three, and there was no way I was tapping out again. That’s just haunted me every single night for the past 365 days, maybe it’s 363. I don’t know how far away we are from the last Rumble, but tonight proved it. Tonight proved it. I am everything I say I am, and I am The Man.”
