Becky Lynch regrets some of the “mean things” she said during her WWE career
During an interview with the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast, Becky Lynch reflected on her WWE push as “The Man” in 2018. Here is what Becky had to say…
“It was one of those things where it was just, I was sick of taking a backseat, and that was kind of real. That angst was real. It was like always almost getting the shot and then never being the one that was picked, never being the one that they were going to hand the ball to and say, ‘Yeah, this is our girl. Go run with it.’
It was like, even the first time that I won the SmackDown Women’s Championship. That wasn’t the plan. I think it was meant to go to Nikki Bella, actually, who, by the way, had just come back from her broken neck. But the audience kind of liked me, you know, and they just, once it was revealed, they just started chanting, ‘Becky.’
The office had to take notice of that and go, ‘Well, yeah. All right. I guess we kind of got to go with her.’
But I don’t think the plan was ever going to be to give it to me again unless I took it. And so that was that opportunity of like, ‘All right, I’m not sitting around. I’m going to make this as interesting as I possibly can.’
Sometimes I did things that, to be honest with you, that I regret. I said a lot of mean things that, it was all about selling the conflict, or at least that’s how I justified it to myself.
But that was it. It was, ‘I’m not sitting around anymore. I am great, and I am going to claim my greatness.'”
