“So much better,” Becky Lynch reveals she wanted to join WWE’s rival promotion for SHOCKING reason in her early days

Without a doubt, Becky Lynch has become the epitome of what a female wrestler is represented in WWE. However, The Man might’ve never reached the same heights, which would’ve never happened if she had made one crucial decision earlier in her career. Recently, Lynch talked about how she wanted to join Total Nonstop Action over WWE for a very specific reason. 

Becky Lynch gave an interview on the MMA Hour and talked about how she wanted to join WWE’s rival company, TNA, when she was just 19 years old. The reason behind her thought of joining the promotion was their treatment of the female superstars at the time. She stated that TNA treated the Knockouts division much better than WWE treated theirs.

Lynch signed a contract with WWE in 2013 and started wrestling under the development brand, NXT. After wrestling there for three years, she went to the main roster and won many championships. However, her biggest moment in her career came when she won the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 35. Needless to say, her decision to not join TNA ultimately turned out to be the right one. 

I was about to move over to America to train in diploma in Orlando, and my goal was maybe I can get into TNA because the way they were treating women there was much better than the way they were treating women in WWE, so that I can make a splash there.

The 37-year-old will get a chance to become the world champion once again, as she will fight Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Title at WrestleMania 40. She earned her chance by beating five other superstars in an Elimination Chamber match. It will be interesting to see whether Becky Lynch dethrones Mami or if the latter continues her dominant title reign. 

Becky Lynch talked about working with Seth Rollins on screen again

Back in 2019, it was well known that Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch were in a relationship. WWE saw this as an opportunity to make it into a big storyline, but it didn’t work out as expected. Lynch stated that, despite things not working out, she would like to work with her now-husband on the screen.

In the same interview with Ariel Helwani, The Man said that she, along with the audience, didn’t like the feeling of it. She hated that they were shown as a romantic couple in love but not as two top stars who could fight side-by-side. Lynch expressed her desire to work with him on screen again, but only if they are treated right. 

Now, I mean I wouldn't mind working with him... As long as they just don't beat it to death. 'Real-life married couple,' which is what they did before. 'The real-life relationship,' Oh my goodness, shut up. We can fight side-by-side, we can be two bada**es, but we don't need to be all mushy and love-dovey.

Both stars are enjoying successful runs in WWE and are guaranteed future Hall of Famers already. Only time will tell whether the power couple once again team up on programming or not.
