In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Lynch revealed that the favorite WrestleMania moment of her career is a loss — namely, her defeat at the hands of Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 38.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On her favorite WrestleMania moment: “I enjoyed WrestleMania 38 where I lost to Bianca more than I enjoyed WrestleMania 35. I think Daniel Bryan said something similar, as well, about enjoying his WrestleMania match against Kofi [at WrestleMania 35] than he did WrestleMania 30. It’s weird like that. Sometimes, what we enjoy in terms of our artistic expression aren’t always the stories that audiences revere the most.”
On enjoying being a heel more than a babyface: “When you were a top babyface, you were micromanaged a little more [under Vince McMahon]. At WrestleMania 38, I had more freedom creatively. When you’re the villain, you’re making the crowd like someone else. There’s a lot of fun in putting the shine on someone else.”
On her WrestleMania 35 win: “That’s the girlhood-dream-come-true moment. Everyone asks me, ‘How did I feel?’ I felt everything, but I also felt nothing. It’s this weird juxtaposition. I made it, but had anything changed? There were fireworks, but my internal landscape wasn’t any different. I found it one of the harder things to write about in my book. That’s the thing people want to read about it. I understand thatt–it’s the culmination. Then the next night I’m brought back to earth when I had to do a segment with Lacey Evans on one-hour sleep while Vince was yelling at me in Gorilla. On the flip side, there was the confidence and the cockiness I walked around with leading up to that match at WrestleMania 35. Ultimately, it wasn’t my destination. It was another important stop on my journey.”
Becky Lynch also spoke to TMZ about her upcoming title match with Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania XL.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On trying to steal the show: “Not steal it, I’ll earn it. I’ll earn it. I’ll beat the bejesus out of her. Make her question why she ever showed up to Philadelphia. That’s what will happen.”
On Ripley mentioning Lynch’s daughter Roux during the build up of the match: “Well, hopefully, she won’t be watching too closely because I think she might be a little scared of mommy.”
On her warning to Ripley: “Enjoy your last few weeks as champion.”
