3 WWE Superstars who didn't want to become wrestlers while growing up and 3 who did

#1 Becky Lynch (wanted to become a wrestler when she was young)

WWE Superstar Becky Lynch is currently on hiatus that kicked off last year when she announced her pregnancy. The Man rose to superstardom in 2018, when she turned on Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam. Months later, she had defeated both Flair and Ronda Rousey in the first main event in WrestleMania history, to become a double Women's Champion.

While talking with ESPN, Lynch opened up on being a fan while growing up, and starting training early on.

"I was completely out of shape. I had no drive. I was drinking. I was smoking things you shouldn't be smoking. And I [thought], 'This is ridiculous. I'm 15 years old -- I need to get it together."

Becky Lynch is one of the biggest WWE Superstars of the modern era

Becky Lynch met Finn Balor in 2002, when she was just 15-years-old. Thus, her pro wrestling journey kicked off and she never looked back. Lynch made her way to WWE's main roster in 2015, and was headlining WrestleMania in a matter of four years. There's no news yet as to whether Lynch will come back to WWE in the near future, but her fans would want nothing but to see her come back for another stint with the company.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
