Becky Lynch recently shared her thoughts on Chelsea Green capturing the WWE Women’s Championship and why it was so beloved by fans. Green won the championship at WWE SummerSlam, which earned heavy fan support both in the arena and from fans since.

Lynch was a guest on the No Contest Wrestling Podccast and spoke about Green’s win, and how it was a result of Green’s slower rise to the top which allowed fans to get behind her. You can see the highlights below:

On Her Advice to Talent:

“I said this to one of the younger girls the other day: ‘You don’t wanna achieve too much right now. You wanna be percolating. Because if you get there, you’re so young. What else is there? You gotta build to it… The audience wants it and that they’re galvanizing behind you. Let them bring you to it. If you get it now — yeah, you see other people getting it. You want that for yourself. That’s not gonna feel as good, you know?’ Because there’s so much time. Then you’re one time, two time, three time, fourth time. Then the audience, they don’t wanna see you be six time, seven time, eight time, nine time, 10 time champion. But that’s how gonna go.”

On Green’s Title Win:

“It’s like when Chelsea won the title. Everybody’s like, ‘Yes! This is amazing. She did it.’ Everybody’s happy because it’s the first time. They saw her journey to get there. So I think it’s all about knowing your time and don’t be in a rush. It’ll all happen if it’s meant to happen, when it’s gonna happen. All in due time.”
