Becky Lynch recently spoke with Josh Barnett for USA Today’s For The Win ahead of WWE Backlash; you can read a few excerpts below:
Becky Lynch comments on adding comedy that she’s known for on social media to her on-air character:
“It will come in time. Right now, my character needs an element of more intensity instead of a comedy role, although I would love, for example, to team up with Breezango and do something on the Fashion Files. That is one of my favorite segments on Smackdown Live now.
“With the Becky Lynch character, there are so many different elements we haven’t seen yet. I’ve been a similar storyline in the last year and a half or two years. Hopefully, it’s not going to end with Charlotte turning on me again, but oh dear, if that’s what it is, I will a lot smarter to it and then we’ll see an extra edge to my character.”
Lynch on her current storyline eventually leading to herself versus Charlotte:
“This gives it a longevity to where we can go. If we start fighting right now, there’s not really anywhere we can go. If we can team up and be on the same page, there are a multitude of directions we can go.
“Eventually, I’d like to face her for a championship down the line. Hopefully, it will be me with the championship. I’ve never gotten to face her in a fair fight. She’s always had someone in her corner, whether it was Ric or Dana Brooke so it will be interesting to see how that will go. She’s here and on her own and going solo.”
Lynch comments on rumors of Total Divas cast changes:
“Honestly, you’re the first person that’s said that to me. I haven’t heard anything about that. … I think there’s a certain – not a whole lot – but a certain amount of mystery of me that I don’t really envision that as the best option for me to take part in. It’s a tremendous opportunity for those that do it, I just don’t know that it’s my thing. When I envisioned my life as a little girl, that was never in my horizons. I’m going to stay with what I want in the future. I don’t see that being reality TV.”
