Becky Lynch Reveals She Was WWE Star’s First Opponent In Specific Match Type

WWE

Becky Lynch has looked back on her role in the WWE women’s roster and how it’s evolved over the years as she heads to WrestleMania 40.

Speaking to SI.com, Lynch revealed that she wants to highlight her goals in the WWE, saying:

“It’s doing the work when the work is hard and not always rewarding, but you’re elevating everyone around you.

“I headlined a WrestleMania. I have that experience. I headlined Raw, I headlined live events.

“When I came in, women didn’t even main-event live events on a consistent basis.

“So to get in the ring with Xia Li, who hadn’t even had a two-segment match to that point, it’s really important.”

Xia Li was drafted to Raw as part of the WWE Draft in 2023 and would enter into a feud with Lynch.

The November 20 episode of WWE Raw would see Lynch defeat Li, with highlights of that match below this news story, in a match that ran to just under thirteen minutes.

Lynch’s autobiography The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl was recently released and has seen positive reactions from the likes of John Cena and Bianca Belair.

During a recent interview, Lynch reflected on Mercedes Mone’s AEW contract which has reportedly made the former Sasha Banks the “top-paid female performer” in the history of wrestling.
