Becky Lynch Felt Scared Ahead Of Major Match

Becky Lynch has looked back on one of her most famous nights.

At WrestleMania 35, Becky Lynch defeated Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey to claim the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Titles. The match was the first all-female match to headline WWE’s biggest event.

Since that famous night, Ronda Rousey in particular has been vocal about how difficult it was to put the match together, and now The Man has had her say.

While appearing on the Games With Names podcast, Lynch looked back on the match, first recalling how she found out it would be the main event. The star revealed that Seth Rollins was surprised by the news, as he was due to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title.

“It was incredible, it was incredible [on hearing about them main eventing]. I was driving from Buffalo New York to Boston,” she began. “I had like a little dance party in the car and then I told I told Colby — I told my boyfriend at the time, now husband. He was the first person I told, which was probably insensitive of me because he was also hoping to be the main event of WrestleMania that year.”

Lynch went on to admit she was “scared and nervous” ahead of the match, but Rollins helped keep her focused.

“The week running up, like my husband was just the best. Like, I was just so nervous, scared and would you know … he would just counsel me and remind me that it’s not about the wrestling, it’s not about the moves, it’s about the emotion, it’s about the story being told — which is what it is.

We were already there, we already had the crowd, we already had them hooked by the story, and it was just a matter of going out there and doing the damn thing.”

Becky Lynch Is Still A Free Agent

The Man has been a free agent since June 1st when she let her WWE contract expire. Since then, Lynch has repeatedly said she’s enjoying her time off, but she’s given little indication of when she might get back in the ring.

The most recent report on the situation said WWE is trying to give Becky Lynch as much space as possible, but crucially, if she decided to retire she wouldn’t have to inform the company.

Lynch is expected to eventually return to WWE, and if and when she does, it’s been reported she’ll become the highest-paid woman in history.
