Becky Lynch Reveals Rejected WWE Ring Names

Becky Lynch Reveals Rejected WWE Ring Names

Former WWE Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch has revealed two ring names that were rejected but she nearly ended up having.

Speaking with Sports Illustrated, Lynch explained the process of choosing her name, and some others that were considered.

She said:

“When I was coming up with my name in WWE, I came up with a bunch of mad Irish names that I thought were cool. Since my last name is Quin, I tried to get that in there as a first name. Quin Chulainn was one, and that was based off the mythological person from Irish mythology. Cú Chulainn is a badass character in Irish mythology.

“They wanted a name associated with my own name, like Rebecca. So I became Becky, and two of the names that came back to me were Becky Lynch and something like Madeleine. I was like, ‘I didn’t even submit that, I don’t know how it got in there.’ It made me think of that TV show Madeleine. Anyway, I said no to that, and the other name that came back was Robin Daly. I actually did like that, but I thought it would be better to have a part of my own name in there, so Becky Lynch it was.”
