Becky Lynch claimed the Women’s World Championship on the latest WWE Monday Night RAW episode, succeeding Rhea Ripley, who had to vacate her title due to injury. Wrestling icon Booker T shared his thoughts on Lynch’s appointment as champion.
In the recent episode of the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T commended Lynch’s leadership qualities, referring to her as a “general.”
He expressed confidence in WWE’s decision, emphasizing Lynch’s trustworthiness and championship caliber.
“Being champion is a full-time responsibility; it’s like having a stethoscope on; you gotta be ready to go, on-call 24/7. And they [WWE] know they can trust Becky Lynch, and she’s proven as far as championship quality goes. You not gonna find a better general in WWE or any other company, male or female, than Becky Lynch. And that’s just the truth,” remarked Booker. [55:57-56:44]
Booker T further endorsed WWE’s choice, highlighting Lynch’s impeccable performance and versatility.
He expressed confidence in Lynch’s capability to mentor others in the industry.
“You talking about somebody who don’t have any flaws? That’s Becky. You talking about someone who works so much bigger than she actually really is? That’s Becky. Man, Roxanne Perez can sit under that learning tree all day long, as far as I’m concerned, and all she’s gonna do is learn. So, for me, I think they made the right choice,” added Booker.

The announcement has ignited speculation about Lynch’s first challenger for the Women’s World Championship, adding anticipation to upcoming WWE events.
