Former WWE Women’s World Champion Becky Lynch recently opened up about competing at her very first WrestleMania and her favorite opponents over the years.

Becky made her WrestleMania debut at the 32nd edition of The Show of Shows in front of over 100,000 fans at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. She battled Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Women’s Championship.

Speaking to Nina Drama recently, Lynch admitted being overwhelmed walking out in front of so many people. During the interaction, the Irish also commented on her favorite opponents over the years.

Below are the highlights (via Fightful):

On her mindset while competing at her first-ever WrestleMania in front of a packed stadium

“The most I’ve wrestled in front of was in Texas. But it was over 100,000. That was my first WrestleMania. 100,000. Which was 10 years ago. WrestleMania 32, and I walked out there and I’d never been in front of… I’d never been… I don’t think I’ve ever been in a stadium before filled with people. It was too overwhelming for me the first time. Now we do it like several times a year, and it’s like nothing. The second biggest city in Ireland. Now you’re not gonna believe me, but it’s Cork. So the population, well, when I was growing up, was 100,000, you know, of the second biggest city in Ireland. So when I went down in front of 100,000 people, I was like, ‘Oh, yeah!’”

Becky returned to WWE television after a short break last Monday night on RAW. She confronted The Judgment Day, especially Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, firing shots at Liv and setting her sights on the world title. She also had a face-off with former champion Stephanie Vaquer.
