Irish-American wrestler Becky Lynch is widely known for revolutionizing the sport for women. Born Rebecca Quin, the wrestler started her professional wrestling training in 2002. Although she initially performed on the independent circuit across Europe and North America, she soon signed up with WWE under her ring name Becky Lynch.
Lynch did not take long to become one of WWE’s most recognized and highest-paid wrestlers. She is married to famous professional wrestler Seth Rollins but in her newly-released memoir, she revealed how they almost did not make it as a couple.
Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins Almost Did Not Date
Colby Lopez, widely known by his ring name Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins, signed up with WWE three years before his present wife. He is a five-time world champion in WWE and currently holds the title of the World Heavyweight Champion.
Lynch went on a six-year hiatus from the wrestling world in 2006 after suffering from a severe head injury. Soon after returning, she signed up with WWE but did not become a part of the main roster until 2015. Her career reached great heights in 2018 when she brought forth her more aggressive side by attacking her friend Charlotte Flair after losing to her in a SummerSlam match for the ‘Smackdown’ Women’s Championship.
2019 was a crucial year for the wrestler. It was also the year she met Rollins and their relationship became complicated because they had developed feelings for each other. However, neither of them wanted to date at the time.
In her memoir, Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl, she revealed how she ended things and told Rollins they should be friends (via Sportskeeda).
“‘Well, I just had an epiphany. We can’t do this anymore! We just have to be friends!'”
While the five-time WWE world champion was upset, he obliged her requests. However, it did not work that way too long and they got back together as a couple soon.
