Becky Lynch Wants to Face Beth Phoenix, Talks Match With Doudrop At Royal Rumble

Becky Lynch has called out Beth Phoenix for a match ahead of Phoenix’s in-ring return at the Royal Rumble. Lynch spoke with The Sun about wanting to face Phoenix (who she says is “scared”), her match with Doudrop at the Rumble and more. You can see a couple of highlights below:

On wanting a match with Phoenix: “I’ve been tweeting that frickin’ Beth Phoenix trying to get her to fight me for years. She keeps saying no, she keeps dodging it. I think she’s scared. Yes. Yes I would love to fight Beth Phoenix.”

On her match with Doudrop at the Royal Rumble: “I’m The Man and she’s a fan. When she was starting out, we were both teenagers at the time, but I had made a name for myself all over the world. All over Europe, all over America, Canada, Japan, and with few role models to look at.

“She looked at this Rebecca Knox who was just breaking barriers all over the place, and then I was gone. And so I imagine when I re-emerged at WWE years later to change the landscape of women’s wrestling, she was just beside herself. Beside herself. Now I think she’s putting on a bit of a bravado, trying to act tough, trying to hold it together because she’s insecure that she’s going against her idol.”
