MassLive.com recently interviewed WWE Raw and Smackdown women’s champion Becky Lynch. Below are some highlights.

Becky Lynch on Money in the Bank: “I was asked last week, why would I take on two competitors at Money in the Bank? I have two belts. I made my way to WrestleMania by fighting twice in one night. I’m not the underdog anymore. I’m the top dog.”

Lynch on making her dreams happen: “People always said my dreams were unrealistic, to go from the WrestleMania pre-show (in 2017) to the main event. It was a matter of breaking through, and I accepted that until I made it happen.”

Becky Lynch on the 2018 Money in the Bank match: “Every time I stepped foot on the ladder, to win that contract [to receive a championship opportunity], the crowd went mad. It showed everyone that I have a bond with the audience. That maybe they were sick of me being overlooked. And I really attribute that to everything else that happened.”

Lynch on the period where she quit wrestling: “During that time, when I quit, I felt tremendous guilt for leaving what I love. It’s really one of those things that happens for a reason. I wouldn’t be where I am now if I hadn’t learned the lessons I learned along the way. I knew what it was like to be resentful. I think I finally let it go. Sometimes you have to learn to trust yourself and forgive yourself. We all make mistakes and do things we regret. You never know how it’s going to end up until it ends up,” said Lynch.
