WWE RAW Womenâs Champion Becky Lynch was recently " target="_blank" rel="noopener">interviewed by Ariel Helwani on BT Sportâs YouTube channel ahead of this week's WrestleMania 38.Â
âPossibly, yes,â she said. âBut then on the other side everybody wants to know. Everybodyâs so interested on the other side of the curtain and so I suppose you have to feed that appetite. But then the thing is, people can feel like they know too much, and you can lose several things, whether it be mystique, and itâs also an understanding of how this business works. If youâre not in this business, if youâve not been in it for years and been in that ring, you can have opinions, but you donât understand the bigger picture of everything and what weâre doing and where weâre going. So oftentimes opinions when you donât have the full outlook and the full scope of things can actually be detrimental because it can derail a story from where it was going because sometimes there can be knee jerk reactions.â
âWe just pass each other in the hallway.â
Ariel asked if they say hello or ask how are you?â
Lynch said, âNo.â
Ariel asked if they can be in the same spot?
âWe have to do live events, often two days a week. So one has to be able to coexist. We havenât had to work together.â
âIn terms of juggling it all look, if anybody whoâs able to go out there in front of people, and youâre able to perform in front of people, and you have a baby thatâs possibly not sleeping, and youâre traveling and getting out in front of the curtain, you know, thatâs juggling it all. Are you excelling at it? Thatâs a different story.â
âI donât think sheâs returned to that level. I think she may have needed a bit more time. Which again, if you have a child and youâre coming back after four months, that is an incredible task and incredible feat. But sometimes you need a bit more time, especially if you havenât been doing this for years upon years upon years. I donât know what her headspace is, but I imagine sheâs not watching absolutely everything that is wrestling related on TV, that sheâs not marinating about it every second of every day when sheâs not with her baby, that sheâs not talking to her husband on nearly every conversation about how do we make this industry better? How do we make ourselves better? How would this match be better? So Iâm just saying, possibly a little bit more time would have been helpful for her. I think she loved it as a fan. I do think she loved it as a fan. So when she came in originally, maybe there was more of a love for it, because she came from that fanâs eyes. Maybe her priorities have shifted to where she knows her babyâs more important. Her baby is always going to be more important. Of course, it is. But maybe she has that love transferred there as opposed to marrying the two loves.â
