Becky Lynch was recently interviewed by AZ Central, where she discussed a number of topics. Among them were what we can expect from the Royal Rumble, the evolution of her character, the advancement of female wrestling, people saying that she’s “overrated” and more.
Below are some questions, along with The Man’s answers:
On the 2019 Royal Rumble:
“This is what I’ve visualized and what I’ve wanted. Now that I’ve gotten here and am lucky enough to have such a response, I’ve been able to go back up that ladder. They’ve made me the main event,” she said. “…And I plan to steal the show.”
Q: How would you describe your character’s evolution?
A: I’ve evolved from people always seeing me as a bit naive to going out there and telling the truth regardless of the consequences. I’m doing what it takes to be on top. I say what I’m thinking and what everyone else is, too. I, at least, have the courage and bravery to do that.
Q: What’s it like to be “The Man?”
A: It’s pretty damn good. People have responded so well to that and it feels good to stand up and own who you are.
Q: What can we expect at the Royal Rumble?
A: The first thing that goes into my mind is how I can plan some hijinks. How can I take the show? I’m gonna take back that championship and make it the most talked about title in all of the WWE and the world.
Q: These days, female wrestlers are in the spotlight in not only the WWE, but in reality TV with “Total Divas” and Netflix’s “GLOW” series. What’s it like to be a part of something drawing more eyeballs than it has in a long time?
A: It’s a perfect blend of timing and talent. There’s a whole world hungry for strong women performing athletic feats and fights and backing things up. We can only go up from here.
Q: What’s the biggest frustration with what you do?
A: I keep hearing now that I’m “overrated.” I don’t think I even know what that really means. Does it mean that I’m not what you think i should be? I’m working my (rear) off and delivering what I say and get a reaction every single time. What does that mean? Of course it’s only from a few loud people. And that’s naturally gonna happen as you rise up the ranks.
Lynch also discusses interactions with the crowd, being an inspiration and more.
