Over the past few decades, WWE has undergone significant transformations, particularly in its treatment of female wrestlers, who are no longer merely viewed as eye candy.
Becky Lynch, a prominent figure in the wrestling world, recently shared her thoughts on the creative process behind the Women’s Revolution within the company, expressing dissatisfaction with its execution.
Lynch reminisced about her main roster debut under the previous WWE regime, alongside Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks, during a segment that marked the inception of the Women’s Revolution.
In a conversation with Steve Fall of WrestlingnNewsCo, she shed light on the limited representation of women on WWE’s creative team.
“The creative team? Not very many. I think like this age there’s only one, is it? I think there’s only one. Yeah, just Alex, right? Yeah. I think just one,”
Lynch stated. Reflecting on the Women’s Revolution, she criticized the approach taken, labeling it as “stupid,” emphasizing the need for compelling storylines and opportunities for female wrestlers to showcase their skills.
Lynch further revealed her disappointment with the segment that catalyzed the Women’s Revolution, describing it as a poorly executed marketing stunt.
“We don’t need to treat this as anything different, and I kind of go into depth about it in the book… It was so poorly executed and just didn’t need to happen in that manner in that way,”
she remarked.
As a seasoned veteran in the wrestling industry, Lynch’s insights carry weight, suggesting that her observations regarding the representation of women on the creative team are likely accurate.
Additionally, former WWE star Ronda Rousey recently made significant revelations about her stint with the company in her autobiography, “Our Fight: A Memoir.”
Rousey disclosed initial plans for a one-on-one match between herself and Lynch at WrestleMania, which were subsequently altered, leading to Rousey facing Charlotte Flair while Lynch squared off against Bianca Belair at the event.
