10 Reasons Becky Lynch is the biggest star in wrestling today

#2: She won her first title while still a teenager

Becky Lynch (wrestling as Rebecca Knox) with the SuperGirls championship.

While the Women's Evolution in WWE has certainly been thrilling, it took its cues from the independent circuit.

Becky Lynch signed with Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling, who were just starting a women's division called Supergirls. Though she was just nineteen years old, she was still the promotion's pick for their inaugural Supergirls champion. She defeated the world-renowned Miss Chevious to win the Supergirls belt and defended it several times before she ultimately lost the title.

The Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling officials were quite impressed with the young Becky Lynch, but her title victory rankled some of the veteran stars. She would end up losing the title to Lisa Moretti and then turned her attention to other international promotions. Still, to be elevated to a champion at such a young age is a rare feat indeed.
