Becky Lynch Recalls Relying On Male WWE Stars For Help & Guidance

WWE

Becky Lynch has revealed that to get to the main event of WWE WrestleMania, she had to turn to others who had already been there for help.

Appearing alongside Seth Rollins in a livestream in support of her forthcoming memoir, Becky Lynch spoke about getting guidance from top WWE stars.

While her goals were very clear, Lynch noted that her rise to become a trailblazer needed to rely on support from others who had been where she was hoping to go.

In her case, she counts the likes of Seth Rollins and John Cena for helping provide help and guidance without gatekeeping.

Becky Lynch said:

“Coming into WWE, I had one very specific goal and that was to main event WrestleMania and make women’s wrestling the coolest thing on TV, and to change the game and to be seen as equal.

“Even in my early stages in NXT, it was weird and confusing because you were told that women can’t punch and you can’t use things like steps and you can’t use the post.

“Are we supposed to just hair pull and slap each other? It’s very confusing. I even remember being told, ‘Move like a girl.’ What, I am a girl, what do you mean? It was all so very confusing.

“Also, where I wanted to go to, there had been no women that had gone there. It is very male-dominated.

“I was trying to get to this space where the men were at the top of the card so I had to rely on them for help and for guidance.

“I was lucky that I had people like you [Seth Rollins] to turn to. John Cena, being able to ask him advice on all the live events.

“You very much had to go to people who had been in the spots you wanted to be. Luckily, everybody was so willing to help the younger and eager talent in that regard.

“Nobody is hoarding the secrets for themselves.”

Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl will be released on March 26, 2024.
