Becky Lynch on 2017 Not Being the Most Successful Year For Her

Former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch was a guest on the recent episode of the Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia podcast, where she discussed a number of things.

Now that Charlotte and Becky are on the same brand again, they are travelling and doing other things together. Lynch discusses how enjoyable it is for her to travel with her best friend again.

“It’s awesome. You know when you are traveling, you are traveling with somebody who has the same schedule and likes doing the same things. Goes to the same gym, eats at the same food places and things like that,” Lynch said. “That is one thing that makes the traveling more convenient, but also someone you can vent to all the time, or stay up with. It just makes the road life that much easier.”

Lynch was a part of the historic women’s ‘firsts’ matches last year. She says she enjoyed being a part of them but she also admits that 2017 was a very slow year for her career.

“I mean, this year has been a mixed bag because I did a lot of great things,” she said. “I achieved a lot of the goals I had set out for myself. I moved to Los Angeles, California, which I love. I got to be the lead female in Marine 6. I did some stuff with Nickelodeon, and of course we got to do the first and second ever Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. We’ve had the first ever Women’s Royal Rumble and Women’s WrestleMania Battle Royal, so there’s some great points there.

“Being somebody who is ambitious and complacent,” she continued, “I know I won’t look at 2017 as my most successful year. I wasn’t on television and featured in storylines as much as I would like to be, but of course that sets you up for the following year where we say to ourselves, ‘Okay, that may not be what I wanted, but how can we kick down the door and makes sure that 2018 is going to be better and bigger?’”
