Becky Lynch: I’ve Never Really Sat Back & Said ‘I’ve Made It’, It’s Always On To The Next Thing

Becky Lynch is proud of her career.

‘The Man’ is currently storming towards Saturday’s Money In The Bank premium live event, where many fans expect her to win the Women’s Money In The Bank briefcase for the first time in her career. 

Despite the fact that she’s never held the briefcase before, Lynch is still considered to be one of the most accomplished women in all of WWE, as she has main evented WrestleMania, won a Royal Rumble match, and won a number of championships, both in the singles and tag team realms.

While appearing on the latest episode of WWE After The Bell, Lynch was asked if she’s able to look back on her career in a fond way and if aging has changed the way she looks at success.

“I think in some ways, yes. I think there’s very much an appreciation to the transitory nature of life, I suppose, and I think kind of coming to terms with, you can’t hold onto any of these things. You can’t go, ‘Okay, yeah, but I want to win the main event for the first time and win two championships again.’ You can’t hold onto that, and you can’t reach for the same thing again. You kind of have to always move on and find new goals, and kind of appreciate the things that happen. But I don’t think you ever kind of really sit back and go, ‘Yeah, I made it,’ because you’re always on to the next thing. I think if anything, it’s given me an appreciation of of aging. I know that sounds kind of weird or whatever, but I think we’re in such an industry that you feel, when you get to a certain age, by the way, I’m still young. I’m still very young, but you see comments or whatever it is. ‘Oh, she’s looking old,’ or whatever. You never read the comments, but sometimes, you’ll happen to stumble upon one. You go, ‘Oh god, am I old? Am I over the hill? Should I be doing..’, and you kind of go, ‘No. No, hell, I have had so much experience and so much great experience, and I am still in my prime, getting started. We’ve still got so much to do.’ I have earned every wrinkle on my face, every gray hair that you’ll never see because I’ve dying it since I was 15, and you kind of have this appreciation for life and how we’re just constantly progressing, and things happen, and then they’re gone, and you can’t hold onto them and we have to keep moving forward, and what’s the next thing, and how do we appreciate what’s happening right now? I suppose it’s just an appreciation for what we’ve done, what we’re going to do, and what we’ve got right now. I think that’s where I’m at.”
