Becky Lynch On What She Learned From Finn Balor

Finn Balor and Becky Lynch have both found success in WWE, and they were already familiar with one another prior to signing with the biggest professional wrestling company in the world.

Becky started training with Finn Balor at the age of 15, and she recently told the Asbury Park Press that Balor gave her a very important piece of advice.

“You know what he taught me a long time ago? He said, “If anybody tells you it’s raining, go out and check.” And I always think that’s perfect. It’s a little bit like the whole (idea that) you can’t trust anybody, right? And not everybody’s got your back, right? And so I think I’ve learned that, and you’ve seen that in me coming out on TV recently, that I don’t trust anybody, that I’m going to go out and check for myself and take things for myself. I think that’s what he meant by that.”

The current SmackDown Women’s Champion also praised Finn Balor for his work ethic, and noted that it was something that she idolized.

“Also, what was so great about Finn is that he was so passionate, right? I think that extended down to everybody he taught because we all absorbed that passion and we wanted to be the best. And he just has such a great work ethic and such a discipline and such a drive and such a belief in himself. So I think that extended to me and that was something that I looked at and idolized and hoped that one day I could bring out in myself. And look, here we are.”

Finn and Becky will both be in action at WWE TLC next Sunday.

Balor is set to face off against Drew McIntyre, and Becky Lynch will be defending her SmackDown Women’s Title against Charlotte Flair & Asuka in the first ever women’s Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match.
