Becky Lynch Talks Working Heel Early In Her Career, Shares Thoughts on Her Recent Match With James Ellsworth
– Becky Lynch recently spoke with Bleacher Report, here are the highlights…
On Working Heel Early in Her Career: “When I was on the independent circuit, I always played the heel role, but I always felt that no matter what, I was able to connect with the fans. Whether I was good or not, there was a connection there because I think I just really love wrestling. If you’re a fan, you love wrestling. When you can feel that radiating off somebody, I think you tend to gravitate toward them. I think that’s the same with a lot of the babyfaces throughout WWE history. Fans pick up on that energy. It’s a passion we have for the industry. That resonates with them.”
On Her Recent Match With James Ellsworth: “With that match, my whole hope was that people didn’t get up in arms about a guy touching a woman. And that it just became about the storyline as opposed to ‘Oh no! What’s going on in the world?’ It was more about entertainment than making any political or social statement.”
