In latest WWE NEWS, One doesn't need to look further than Becky Lynch to realize what difference a year can make. From being in a throwaway battle royal at WrestleMania 34 to headlining and winning the main event of WrestleMania 35, Lynch's journey has been nothing but inspirational.

The path to the main event of WrestleMania wasn't an easy one for Lynch by any means. After being one of several wrestlers who turned into afterthoughts once they were moved to the main roster, Becky Lynch managed to do the unthinkable. Even though she wasn't getting opportunities on the blue show, fans were behind her like they had ever been before.

Her heel turn at Summerslam 2018 turned her into an anti-hero, which garnered her deafening cheers as she moved ahead with the character. Becky's popularity got to the point where WWE was forced to insert her into the main event of WrestleMania 35, where she pinned Ronda Rousey to win both Women's Titles.

Becky also talked about how she once begged to Bill DeMott to give her a chance to prove herself.

There were girls that had never wrestled before getting on the shows before me. I remember going into Bill DeMott and begging him please let me just prove I can connect to the audience.
