Becky Lynch will face Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey in the main event of WrestleMania 35. She’s come along way from almost getting cut from WWE developmental only a few years back.
Lynch spoke to CBS News recently about how close she came to getting cut from WWE. She mentioned that she got texts from people in the company recently letting her know she was almost fired several years back.
“I got a couple of text messages this week from people here at work and NXT or worked in the office side of things. (They said) I don’t know if you knew this, but there are some people that wanted to fire you when you were in NXT. Congratulations on the main event.”
Lynch would continue to say that she was already aware she had been close to getting cut.
Becky Lynch On Fan Support
Lynch would also say she sometimes suffered from a lack of confidence but the fan support she received always gave her the boost she needed.
“If it wasn’t for those fans making their voices heard…” Lynch said. “It comes back to the beginning. No matter what, they’ve always been there. They’ve always supported me. Now it’s on such a bigger level, but I think what happened is that Money In The Bank, every time I stepped on that ladder they went crazy. It just made people pay attention.”
Lynch would continue to say that she started strategizing how to get into the WrestleMania main event as soon as her character started to get hot.
“Just as soon as I got hot, I was just strategically planning this. How could I make the story so compelling? How could I get people so invested that they have to see this as the main event because they’re just so invested? Even though it feels like this build has been happening for about 12 years now, I think the blowoff at WrestleMania is perfect.”
