Becky Lynch had to claw her way to the top of WWE, but eventually her hard work paid off and she became one of the top stars in the company. The Man was one of the first women in history to main event WrestleMania, but he great success came from humble beginnings.
Lynch had to work her way up through the ranks in NXT, and that meant working her way through promo classes. Former WWE star Steve Cutler, real name Steve Maclin, recently shared a story with Fightful about promo class, and he recalled a time when Becky Lynch cut a promo as Sister Abigail.
“One of the people there you saw, at least for me that I remember, was Becky Lynch did a Sister Abigail promo. I don’t know if you ever heard that story. I remember this just because, ‘Holy shit, this is cool. This is something different from Becky at that time.’ This is when she was in NXT. So, it was just something different and it was cool to watch.”
Maclin went on to say that Becky Lynch wasn’t pitching the idea of her becoming Sister Abigail, bur rather that she was just cutting a promo for the class based on an idea she had at the time.
“No. The point of Dream’s classes was to go in, throw something at the wall and you see if it sticks, and if it doesn’t, you move on. Dusty was the best. I loved it ‘cause he was just an honest person. He would start every promo class where you’d just sit there, ‘Alright, what’s the dirt?’ He just wants to know what’s going on. Who’s with who type thing. What’s the craziness? He already knows some of the dirt, so he’s just like, ‘C’mon, what’s the dirt?’ It was always just fun to see the creative process. But, he just brought everything out of everybody and sides of people you didn’t get to see. Like, I’m sure a lot of the leaked videos on YouTube and stuff that come from the PC, it’s great to see. But, there’s so much untapped potential out of so many stars that are even on RAW and Smackdown now that they could have had then. It’s just insane.”
Becky Lynch has been out of action since she announced her pregnancy back in May of 2020, but it’s rumored that she could be returning at any time. Stay tuned for updates.
