Becky Lynch was recently interviewed by Ariel Helwani of ESPN. During the interview, she spoke on a wide variety of topics, including being the main event of Wrestlemania 35.
During the interview, Becky was asked if she was ever worried that her match wouldn’t be the main event.
Here is what she said (h/t to Cageside Seats for the quotes below):
“Yeah, yeah, so – because I felt like, I was worried that the momentum had started to dip, because the build has been going on for the past nine years [smiles]. No, but it’s been since before October, so it felt like it was a long time. And then I had been – I had qualified for the match, then got suspended, or, then injured, then unsuspended. Then injured again, then suspended again. Then arrested, then unarrested, then arrested again. It felt like I was freaking Noah at this stage, just getting two of everything, and, uh, just build me a ship and let’s sail off to New Jersey.
But it just felt like, especially with Kofi making momentum and there was Brock and Seth and it was a question of who? Everybody was talking about they were the main event. And I was like ‘Noooo! I need to be the main event. This is all I’ve dreamed about, this is what I’ve manifested for years and years and years, and how do we make sure that that happens?’ And so with everything, it felt like a political campaign that I took every single opportunity, whether it was to get on Twitter, or social media, or cut a promo in front of the building, or to make sure that the fans basically elected me into this main event of WrestleMania. And – got there. Got there.”
