In a recent episode of “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” WWE champion Cody Rhodes interviewed WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch. The Man discussed various topics like her family life and why she prefers being a heel over a babyface.
When asked about the relationship with her husband, Seth Rollins, Becky replied, “It's interesting because I think the dynamic is a little bit [that] in the house, at least, he pretends I'm the boss, right? Like, we know that I'm the boss. [I have] the ultimate say. But he has that tall, dark demeanor and he's like all broody and stuff. But I revere him more than any person ever. I think he's the greatest, the smartest, and the coolest. He's the best person to talk to.”
“I just think he's incredible, and he is the best. I'm like, how do I get to live this life with this hot husband who is just so incredible, who's so intelligent, [and] he's such a great dad. And then we have this daughter, and we have such fun together. And I just feel so unbelievably lucky and everything. But it's all just icing on the cake. It's mind-blowing to me because that's it. That's life, that's living,” she further added.
Becky Lynch also gave birth to her daughter, Roux, in December 2020, who often asks about having a younger brother. The Irish Lass Kicker feels a conflict between her career momentum and the desire to grow her family. However, she concluded by saying that she wanted to do it all.
“She's [Roux] always asking for a little brother. I'm really loving wrestling. I'm loving the acting roles that I'm getting. I kind of feel like momentum is on my side. And she said the worst thing she could possibly say to me. She's like, ‘When you're done working, when you make enough money, then can I have my little brother?’ But the other part of that is, no, I love working. I love working, and then I love coming home [and] looking after my little girl but growing the family would also be amazing. So it's one of those things. And there's not enough time. But, I want to do it all,” Becky added.
When asked about her favorite moment in her career, Becky shrugged off the feeling. Rather, she feels that her whole career has been incredible.
“No, [I don't have a favorite moment in my career]. Honestly, the thing that I'm most happy for is that I've been able to have a career and a family like that because it's hard for women as you have to step away to have a family and all that stuff. And then you're worried, like, ‘Am I going to get my space and all those things?’ But, [I was] able to have both. That's it. That makes me feel the most happy and the most proud.”
Becky Lynch has been a heel as well as a babyface in her career and received accolades for both of her performances. However, she replied that she prefers to be a heel over a babyface.
“I really love being a bad guy. I feel like I do more good being a bad guy. I'm better at making people look good. I'm not a cool wrestler. I don't have cool moves, but I can pull other people’s stuff. I love it [the heel side of wrestling]. I feel like I'm a better wrestler because everybody else has all these cool stuff. Like Lyra [Valkyria], she's got all these cool stuff, like wings. When I was working with Bianca [Belair], she had all these cool stuff. And I'm like, I'm really good at knowing where to put other people,” Becky said.
Becky further added that being a babyface is sort of political and slightly stressful, but as a heel, all her job is to make the other person look good.
“The other thing is that when you are a babyface, you have to be selfish. Your job is to be liked and be the coolest. So, it is almost political. You have to campaign and you have to look the coolest because that is your job. You're their guy, their girl. That is so stressful because it becomes political, it becomes this thing,” Becky said.
“Whereas when you're a heel, you get that freedom to be who you are. There's nothing I can do that is wrong. My job is to make you look cool. It's way less stressful. The business is, if I'm a babyface, I have to be the best. I have to look the best. So, ‘Hey, excuse me, Heel. Sorry, I have to be the best.’ So it becomes this thing. Whereas being a heel, okay, let me make you the best. That's great,” she further added.
Becky Lynch recently defended her title against Natalya on an episode of Raw. However, Nikki Bella attacked her after their match and forced her to retreat, suggesting that an upcoming title match between the two is imminent.
