Fiery Irish WWE Superstar Becky Lynch is back from injury and proving she’s still ‘The Man’.
KRASH: How does it feel to be back from injury?
Becky: Coming back there was so much apprehension, but the fans greeted me with such open arms and reminded me that there’s nothing like this. That putting your body on the line for their entertainment is such a privilege and it is so worth it. So, a big giant thank you to the fans for letting me entertain them.
KRASH: How did it feel getting the win for your team at WarGames?
Becky: It felt amazing to be out in front of the crowd again and how electric that was, in such a wild capacity as WarGames. That’s a match that I’ve never done before and it’s a very daunting match. You’ve got two rings, you’ve got a giant cage and anything goes. Truth be told, my shoulder still isn’t feeling right. So, to say I was nervous is probably a bit of an understatement. But once you get out there, once you get in front of the crowd and you feel that energy, then you forget everything else. There’s not another feeling like it.
KRASH: Was that jump off the top of the cage terrifying?
Becky: It was both terrifying and painful. Even with the nerves, I was like: “I want something that people can remember from this match”. If I come back then I’ve got to put my body on the line. I had in my head that I wanted to flatten some fools with the leg drop through the table. When the opportunity came up and it was time to go, well, then there’s nothing left to do but do it. You can see even when I’m up there there’s a moment of hesitation where I have a moment with myself. When I landed, of course it was painful, although I think it might have been a little bit more painful for Dakota Kai.
KRASH: Rhea Ripley has said she wants to have a big match with you – what do you think?
Becky: I think Rhea is one of the greatest female athletes we’ve ever seen. I think she’s incredible. She is so young, so full of potential. I look at her and I go “well, that’s the future of the business and the business is in good hands”. She’s the future but I’m still the present. There can only be one Man around the place. If I have to put her in her place, then I’ll put her in her place. Plus, she’s hanging around with somebody who I know pretty well. In fact, somebody who taught me nearly everything I know. There’s an interesting dynamic there because she’s got Finn Bálor in her corner. I’ve known Finn for over 20 years, so it would be interesting to see what side he would take, you know, if push came to shove.
KRASH: What does it mean to be ‘The Man’?
Becky: It means doing everything to the absolute best of your ability. Whatever that is, whatever the obstacles are, be that a broken shoulder or be that trying to juggle parenting on the road while writing a book and doing acting projects. It’s a matter of putting everything that you have into what you’re doing at that moment.
