Becky Lynch has once again reached the pinnacle of WWE, clinching the Women’s World Championship on RAW through a spectacular victory in a Women’s Battle Royal.
While Becky has become seasoned in securing championships, there was a time when even “The Man” felt the pangs of nervousness, both before and after her triumphs.
This was notably the case when she clinched the inaugural SmackDown Women’s Championship, a moment she vividly recounts in her book, “Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Girl.”
After defeating Carmella in 2016 to claim the title, Becky found herself in a whirlwind of emotions, grappling with post-win jitters. It wasn’t until she crossed paths with Randy Orton backstage that she found solace. Orton, sensing her unease, shared a personal anecdote about his own experience being addressed as “champ” for the first time, instantly resonating with Becky.
In her own words, Becky recalls Orton’s comforting words: “‘I remember when an old-timer called me champ for the first time,’ as he imitated himself being chuffed with himself, but then trying to brush it off as if he was cool.” This moment of vulnerability from a seasoned WWE Champion reassured Becky that her feelings of apprehension were not unwarranted.
Finding comfort in Orton’s story, Becky realized that even the most accomplished wrestlers experience moments of doubt and fear. It was a pivotal realization that helped her embrace her own vulnerabilities and fears, understanding that they were a natural part of her journey.
Fast forward to today, and Becky Lynch stands once again at the zenith of WWE, reclaiming the Women’s World Championship. Her victory not only underscores her resilience but also serves as a testament to her enduring legacy in women’s wrestling.
In a touching gesture following her win, Becky shared a heartfelt message with her daughter, Roux, reaffirming her dedication to her family amidst her triumphs in the ring.
This gesture not only exemplifies Becky’s multifaceted persona but also serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit that propels her forward.
As Roux looks back on this moment in years to come, she will undoubtedly take pride in her mother’s unparalleled achievements as one of the greatest women wrestlers of all time.
