Becky Lynch recently spoke to Channel Guide Mag to promote SummerSlam and she talked about the current state of the WWE Women’s division and more. You can check out the interview here along with a few highlights below.
Fans ripping on Eva Marie: “Eva Marie is so hard-working. Yes, she is new. She gets so much flack from fans for being this gorgeous woman who, apparently, they say can’t wrestle, but she puts in the hard work.”
“I love working with talent like that. It’s a challenge for me, but I feel it’s a great spot for me to be in because I can be a leader. I really enjoy that. I remember when I was coming in and having someone to keep you calm and help you through helps. Then you build this confidence. It does help because maybe they don’t have that confidence at first, and you are able to bring them through to a good match. Then they come back, and they are so excited. I absolutely love that.”
The current state of the Women’s division in WWE: “We now have multiple women storylines going on at one time. It’s not just, ‘Here is all the women. They all hate each other. They are all fighting and that is it. Now we have separate storylines going on.”
“If you look at SmackDown, we’ve got Carmella and Natalya. We have me and Eva Marie. You have Alex Bliss on that end of things. On Raw, you have Charlotte and Sasha Banks going for the title. You see Lana involved in her storyline. Maryse is there. There is a lot of focus on the women, which is what we wanted. It was not just necessarily, ‘There are lots of women, and now let’s have them have matches.’”
