Becky Lynch is back full time.

Triple H, Lynch, Lyra Valkyria, Logan Paul, and others took questions from the media following WrestleMania 41 Sunday. Here’s the highlights:

Logan Paul​

  • When asked about his part-time status, He said when Triple H calls him, he answers the call. He said he put on “five star matches” every time he’s out there and whoever Triple H wants him to go out there against, he’ll rise to the challenge.

Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria​

  • Lynch was joined by her daughter, Roux.
  • She said that taking a break from WWE for the last year was amazing. It was good to get into activities and school for her daughter, a routine schedule.
  • The most important thing in her life is her family, and wrestling is next. To be back and be at Lyra’s side is amazing. She told Lyra that she was the biggest hope for the future and she wanted to be a contributing factor in walking out of WrestleMania as champions.
  • She confirmed that she was back full time, said that she’ll go hard until she could no more, or at least take another break.
John Cena took questions from the media, but mostly regarded all questions as click bait then demanded people to watch Raw to see what the “Last Real Champion” does to ruin wrestling.

Triple H​

  • Triple H first took time to praise the staff and talent involved in setting up WrestleMania.
  • Offical numbers will be out later in the week but in terms of sponsorship, merchandise, and social media, all records have been broken. Vegas delivered in the labiggest way possible for fans all over the world. He called it an incredible weekend.
  • Great to have Becky Lynch back. Bayley is a pro and will be alright.
  • Said Joe Hendry was the perfect opportunity to do a scenario that no one thought of, saying it was the right moment in the right spot. Hendry has a bright future and was happy we could put him in this spot, and it won’t be his last WrestleMania, and tonight was his easiest.
  • Regarding Chyna going into the Hall of Fame, he wasn’t sure about next year’s ceremony but it would definitely happen.
  • On thanking Vince McMahon during his Hall of Fame speech, Triple H said that none of us would be here without him, so it was pretty hard not to mention him.
  • He praised Travis Scott, calling him “incredibly passionate.” Triple H said that Scott could get injured in situations like this so what he is doing is out of respect and he’s glad he is here to help. He said you’d have to tune in tomorrow to see if he’ll show up on Raw, and you’ll have to tune in and see if he’ll ever have a match.

Heres some more exact quotes from Levesque.

On Chyna:

“I don’t know about next year, but it’s definitely happening. There’s a lot of people, when you say the Hall of Fame, there are a lot of names that should be in that Hall of Fame and will be in that Hall of Fame. You just can’t put them in all at once, right? I think there will be the right moment.”
“Her contributions to the business alone. I can see it in all these women when they get in there. We’re at the age…where they all grew up idolizing her. And I see it in their work, I see it in their demeanor, I see it in what they think works and doesn’t. It all, in a lot of ways, stems from that. She is in the Hall of Fame with D-X, but she will be in the Hall of Fame by herself when the time is right, for sure. It’s just a debate every year of who goes in when and how. And you can look no further than Ivan Koloff in that. Needed to be in there. Same with Kamala. They need to happen, we just have to be judicious about when and how they happen so it’s done right for everybody.”

On Joe Hendry:

“In this case with Randy Orton, the storyline, the angst of where we were with Kevin Owens piledriving Randy Orton — him being out for months, him finally coming back. There was just so much anger and aggression there. You really needed something different to make that. And I saw a lot of predictions of who it was going to be and what it was going to be. Just incredibly difficult to try to put somebody in the spot to fill that in. It has to be a completely different scenario, and that’s where Joe Hendry came in. And to me was the perfect opportunity to put him in there."

“It allowed Randy to go from being the ‘voices in his head angry, crazy Randy Orton’ to ‘I’m going to have some fun and I’m going to make this kid and I’m going to still showcase what I do and I’m going to leave him better than he came in.’ It was the right thing, right moment, right time, in the right spot in a show that had a lot of incredible action to still get incredible action, have a ‘holy crap’ moment, and sort of take you on that rollercoaster ride of everything being up here and give me something different, something fun, something entertaining. This was the perfect spot for it.”
“And I will just say: I love Joe Hendry. He’s a great talent, great entertainer, smart, respectful to what we do. Like, he’s got a bright future, And I was really, really happy that we could put him in this spot and showcase him for everybody on a bigger platform in the world. I told him, right before he walked out, I said, ‘You will be here again, so enjoy this one because the pressure gets heavy from here. This will be the easiest WrestleMania you ever do, and you will do more.'”

The comments about Hendry confirm what I think everyone already knows…at some point, they’re going to sign him and as long as he can maintain this momentum, he’ll be ok.

The comments about Chyna? They typically induct one women a year. Personally, I’d induct Mickie and Victoria before I give Chyna a solo induction so it may be a minute

I never even thought about Joe Hendry so it was a legit surprise, almost felt like his time had somewhat passed to appear after he didn't show up on that Glsagow show.

Hopefully Bex personality can rub off onto Lyra and gets something going for her because she's desperately lacking in that department.
