Becky Lynch was left crying backstage at WWE SummerSlam 2025

Becky Lynch was left emotional backstage at SummerSlam earlier this month. The first-ever two-night SummerSlam Premium Live Event saw The Man successfully defend her Women's Intercontinental Championship against Lyra Valkyria in a No Count Out, No Disqualification Match.

While the win would've felt important to Becky Lynch at such a big stage, there was something else that made her cry when she got to the back. Lynch debuted a new entrance theme song at The Biggest Party of the Summer from the rock band The Wonder Years.

The Man had approached the band's frontman and her friend Dan ‘Soupy’ Campbell to write the new song. Campbell then worked some references from Lynch's personal life into the song, making her emotional.

In a chat with Metro UK, Campbell revealed how the Women's Intercontinental Champion was overcome with emotion after she heard the full lyrics for the first time at SummerSlam.

"The lyrics aren’t anywhere yet, but I worked in a reference to Roux [her and Seth Rollins’ daughter] in the first verse, where there’s like a wink to Roux’s name. And then I worked in a reference to Seth in the second verse, and then the chorus references her dad [who passed away four years ago]," he said.

Campbell, who attended the premium live event with his sons, also disclosed that when Becky Lynch met them backstage, she was crying.

"We went backstage, and she came up to me crying, and was just like, 'It just meant so much, because the last time my dad saw me wrestle live was here at SummerSlam.' That’s what I was looking for. I wanted to make something that was really important to her," he added. [H/T: Metro]

Reportedly, Campbell and The Wonder Years were given freedom to curate the entrance theme with minimal input from WWE.

Becky Lynch picked The Wonder Years for her new theme for a specific reason

Over the years, Becky Lynch has been associated with her "Celtic Invasion" theme song. However, she was looking to kick off a new era, according to Dan Campbell, and hence wanted a different song.

The band did ask Lynch whether she wanted it to "try to write entrance music". But she was adamant that she wanted a Wonder Years song.

"She was like, 'No, write a Wonder Years Song. I want something very specifically you. There’s a reason I’m asking your band,'” Campbell revealed.

Lynch's new entrance theme complements the new personality she is looking to imbibe currently in WWE. Given that the track has a personal meaning to her, it is all the more special.
