Becky Lynch on Her Favorite WrestleMania Moment–And It’s Not What You Think
Becky Lynch on Her Favorite WrestleMania Moment–And It’s Not What You Think
www.si.com
Becky Lynch does not hesitate when she is asked about her favorite WrestleMania moment.
Surprisingly, it did not take place at WrestleMania 35. That was the night in 2019 when Lynch officially took WWE by storm after pinning Ronda Rousey and becoming the first woman to ever close out the company’s signature show with a victory. There was incredible excitement surrounding WrestleMania 35, which was originally supposed to be Rousey’s show–yet Lynch’s surging popularity gave the powers-that-be in WWE no other choice but to crown her champion.
Yet that is not the memory most fond to her. Rather, Lynch’s favorite WrestleMania moment took place three years later. She was the heel champ, defending her Raw Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair. This was a feud that had been ongoing since the prior summer, when Lynch shockingly defeated Belair in only 26 seconds at SummerSlam. But Belair found redemption at WrestleMania, where she overcame Lynch and regained the belt.
“I enjoyed WrestleMania 38 where I lost to Bianca more than I enjoyed WrestleMania 35,” said Lynch. “I think Daniel Bryan said something similar, as well, about enjoying his WrestleMania match against Kofi [at WrestleMania 35] than he did WrestleMania 30. It’s weird like that. Sometimes, what we enjoy in terms of our artistic expression aren’t always the stories that audiences revere the most.”
