Becky Lynch says WWE wanted to change her WrestleMania 38 match so Bianca Belair would lose
While speaking to Vulture’s Good One podcast, WWE star Becky Lynch reflected on her match with Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 38…
“We paid off the story in the most amazing way. And what was so incredible about Bianca—I could write a book about how amazing she is—but when I took that title from her, I know how upset she was because she thought, ‘Oh, they don’t believe in me anymore. They think I’m doing a bad job, and I get squashed in this way.’
But she was so gracious. She was like, ‘I’m so happy.’ She could have been like, ‘This bitch is coming in, taking my spot. She’s been gone, I’ve been here putting in the hard work, and now I just have to roll over for her.’
And I always wanted to pay it back to her in the biggest way possible. The fact that we were able to get there—we had to fight for it, because at one point they wanted to put somebody else into the match, make it a triple threat. But I was like, ‘That’s not the story.’ That was going to be the hill I died on—I was ready to really fight.
Thankfully, they changed it, because it needed to go back to Bianca. If it had gone to a triple threat, they would have kept it on me. But the story needed Bianca to win and take that victory.
And it just felt like such a happy, perfect ending.”
