One of the greatest perks about being a professional wrestling fan is experiencing a superstar's journey as they claw their way to the top of the industry.

When you see a superstar willing to be a horse with blinkers and walking an entirely different path from the others, you start believing in them. While Daniel Bryan made us believe in 2014 with his legendary underdog story, Becky Lynch's meteoric rise in WWE has ascended her to a different stratosphere altogether.

The Man is the hottest thing in the entire sports entertainment industry and is garnering more mainstream attention than any other WWE superstar on the main roster en route to WrestleMania 35.

Since Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair are apparently locked in to close the Grandest Stage of Them All, it's just a justification of how far the women's division has reached from being sidelined on main cards to becoming the main card.

A lot of the credit goes to Becky Lynch and Charlotte for telling a riveting tale for the better part of 2018 on SmackDown Live, and significant emphasis should also be given to Ronda Rousey for bringing more eyeballs to the product.

There's no denying that the Irish Lass Kicker possesses all the credentials in the world to be a huge marketable superstar, with fans constantly comparing her to CM Punk and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

While Becky definitely carries a solid personality of her own, there are a lot of things that we still don't know about the talented 2019 Women's Royal Rumble winner.

So, without further ado, let's try to blur the lines by analyzing the 5 interesting facts about Becky Lynch you wouldn't believe are true.


#1 She is the only one out of the Four Horsewomen who never won the NXT Women's Championship

Despite being one of the most popular stars in the entire women's division today, The Man has been devoid of several accolades before finding her way to the top.

While she was under Triple H's wing in NXT, Becky Lynch was at her finest and played an influential role in revolutionizing the entire scenario around women's wrestling.

With the Irish Lass Kicker sharing a strong bond with Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Charlotte Flair (popularly known as the Four Horsewomen), the former SmackDown Women's Champion, however, couldn't get her hands on the NXT Women's Championship.

The interesting thing is that she is the only one out of the 4 talented performers to have never gotten her hands on the gold under Triple H's supervision.

Considering that she also portrayed a heel character alongside Sasha Banks to ascend Bayley's credibility as an underdog, it's incredible to see how Becky has emerged as the most popular star out of the four, despite not receiving as much accolades when they initially started.

#2 She used to work as a flight attendant before becoming a legend in sports entertainment

Becky has had quite the struggle

There's no denying that every professional wrestler who dreams of making it big in the industry goes through a level of adversity that eventually makes them the superstar they are.

Becky Lynch's meteoric rise in the world of professional wrestling has kept her in the headlines ever since she beat the hell out of Charlotte at SummerSlam 2018, but her initial struggle before being a focal point for women's wrestling will blow your mind.

The Man had done a lot of odd jobs before she became such an influential component of Vince McMahon's billion dollar company, and one of them was being a flight attendant.

In 2005, the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble winner suffered an unfortunate cranial nerve damage in the ring, which caused Becky to temporarily quit wrestling.

Being every bit of the embodiment of the nickname - 'The Relentless One', the former SmackDown Women's Champion continued fighting the good fight and worked as a flight attendant for Aer Lingus in Ireland.

The Irish Lass Kicker continued her journey at Aer Lingus, and worked for almost two and a half years before heading in a different direction.

#3 Sami Zayn is her closest friend in the wrestling business

Since the WWE Superstars are always on the road, participating in different events, and entertaining the audience wherever they go, many of them have built a strong relationship outside of the business.

While Charlotte, Sasha Banks, and Bayley have been very fond of Becky Lynch ever since their days in the developmental territory, it is Sami Zayn who has been Lynch's closest buddy.

Their friendship was very apparent when the duo teamed up to participate in the Mixed Match Challenge tournament, with WWE promoting their camaraderie throughout.

Both performers have known each other very well since their independent days, and while Becky has become such a big name in the wrestling business, she still keeps her friends close.

Zayn also posted an update on Instagram before having his shoulder surgery, where he is seen in a happy pose with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.

With Sami Zayn now bound to return to WWE anytime soon, we are hoping that Becky instills the same relentlessness into the former NXT Champion, pushing him to the next level.

#4 She is trained in professional combat and can fight for real

Will we see a different Becky at WrestleMania?

With Becky Lynch just being months away from the biggest match of her career against Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 35, the former SmackDown Women's Champion is expected to prepare herself for the Rowdy One.

While many female competitors have fallen down to Ronda's incredible offensive striking, The Man could very well turn out to be the odd one out, eventually.

One notable fact about Becky Lynch includes her being very proficient in professional combat, with the Relentless One receiving credible training in the sport, and can literally fight for real.

Becky genuinely seems to have a different adulation for martial arts and could be very deadly if provoked. This definitely is a testament to her straight fire attitude and her willingness to explore different sports, as The Man also has a genuine love for horse riding, basketball, and swimming.

Despite the fact that Becky claimed to fail P.E. in school, she has still been very ambitious in exploring and trying different things.

#5 Vince McMahon has cited her as an example for other superstars to get 'over' in the WWE

Becky deserves it

After Becky turned heel at SummerSlam by savagely assaulting Charlotte Flair, she literally became the biggest thing in the entire world of professional wrestling.

The former SmackDown Women's Champion became a cult act on the main roster, with the fans letting their adulation for her known every single week on the blue brand.

Since a lot of credit for the rise goes to Becky, Vince McMahon's praise for her perseverance and attitude definitely was a plus point.

The Boss reportedly was so impressed with Becky's attitude that he advised the other superstars in the locker room to learn from her and keep the same disposition in order to make it big in his billion dollar company.

Judging by how Lynch has grabbed the brass ring in such a short amount of time, she definitely has the backing of Mr. McMahon.
