Becky Lynch comments on how her hopes for the women’s division has been met over the past few years:
It’s so awesome because every year I come here [to Comic Con] and I get asked different questions about where I see the Women’s division going, what I see happening, and it’s like I get to—this is giving me goosebumps—I get to come back and realize how much further we’ve gotten every year. The first year people were asking ‘what would you like to see?’ and I’m like ‘well, I would like to see this momentum continue. I’d like to see individual stories where people are getting more invested in the characters’ and that’s happened. I’ve said I’d like to see ladder matches, and that’s happened. Everything that I’ve said that I want to see happen, and that people have wanted and shown excitement for; it’s all happened and it’s all happening. So then I just go ‘well, where are we going to be next year?’
Becky praises Ronda Rousey for how well she has adapted to WWE:
Can we just take a second to appreciate how incredible she’s doing? Of course, she is an unbelievable athlete, an Olympian—women’s MMA wouldn’t be where it is today without her. All of her success and what she’s done, she’s taken like a duck to water to our rings. She’s such a superstar across the world, right? So that’s why I look at her like a slot machine; the harder I kick her, the more money’s going to fly out, so it’s going to be better for me.
Becky talks about sharing the ring with Lita at this year’s Royal Rumble:
That was incredible, and I got a big boo out of the audience, but I’m sorry. I was after that number one spot. It was absolutely amazing to be in the ring and to hear the roar of the crowd when she came out. I remember when I was younger, seeing Lita for the first time I was like ‘who is this woman? She’s so cool!’ And I could identify with her and I could relate to her. I was like ‘I could be a woman like her’ and I don’t know that I would be where I am without having an inspiration like her. So, to be in the ring and have her come out, and have her moonsault me, as much as it hurt, I don’t care. But then I got rid of her, and I was like ‘this is my town now!’
