WWE’s resident double champ Becky Lynch recently sat down for a lengthy interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, discussing everything from her historic WrestleMania main event, chasing Ronda Rousey out of professional wrestling, the meaning behind her nickname “The Man” and more.
On chasing Ronda Rousey out of the WWE by taking her title at WrestleMania:
“The way to beat Ronda isn’t through her body, it’s through her mind. Once she feels like she is untouchable, that’s when she is most vulnerable. Ronda enjoyed WWE, as she did in MMA, when she was on top, but she got her jacket and left once she found out she wasn’t infallible. After WrestleMania, I didn’t go on vacation. I got an hour of sleep, then I got up and did morning media. That’s all I’ve ever wanted—to run on dreams, hard work, and adrenaline.”
On her current rivalry with Lacey Evans:
“She’s talking about how I’m failing. I just walked out of the main event at WrestleMania with two championships. I don’t know what she’s on, I don’t know what she’s smoking, but she’s out of her goddamn mind if she thinks she’s going to beat me at Money in the Bank.”
“Lacey Evans can call me ‘a man’ all she thinks, but that’s an ignorant view. Being ‘The Man’ means working to become the top dog, then holding yourself in that manner. No matter how people are trying to hold you down, you keep rising above. That’s what it means to be ‘The Man.’”

On potentially facing Sasha Banks again if she returns to WWE television:
“Come fight me, Sasha. At one time, Sasha Banks was the top dog, she was ‘The Boss,’ but Sasha’s fallen from grace. It seems like she can’t hack it. Let’s prove something. I know we’ve had tremendous matches back in NXT, and it’s been an age since we stepped in the ring together, and I would love to again, but this is a whole different kettle of fish. This ain’t ‘The Lasskicker’ anymore, this is ‘The Man.’ I would love to go toe-to-toe, ‘The Man’ vs. ‘The Boss,’ to prove who is the top dog now.”
