Becky Lynch Comments On Wrestling Lita At Elimination Chamber
At that point it seemed like WWE would give up on the push of Bianca Belair but thankfully that did not happen, instead Bianca kept on receiving strong build and ultimately she went on to challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 38. She finally defeated her to win the WWE Raw Women’s Championship.
During this process where Becky Lynch remained the WWE Women’s champion, she had been undefeated and she defeated a several number of stars. One of the stars was WWE Hall of Famer Lita. She challenged Becky at the Elimination Chamber pay per view event which took place at Saudi Arabia. It was a very good match where Lita was highly praised by the fans and the critics.
Becky Lynch who is also the winner of the women’s Royal Rumble match of 2019 recently spoke to FOX Sports’ “Out of Character” podcast where she looked back at her match against Lita from Elimination Chamber. She also discussed the influence of Ronda Rousey. She said;
“I don’t know how I feel about doing a show over there but then somebody mentioned that, ‘Look, you don’t get to influence people by not being there’ you know? You get to show these women and young girls what’s possible and that’s amazing.
“The audience are so receptive and they love it and their reaction through everything is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. So, to know that you maybe have a small part in influencing a young girl who wouldn’t have been aware of this thing otherwise, is really incredible.
“I hate to bring her up but if Ronda Rousey, credit where credit is due. Look, if Ronda Rousey hadn’t been as good as she was in MMA, there wouldn’t have been women in the UFC and women [wouldn’t] see that and say, ‘I want to do that too.’ It starts by showing people what’s possible so that we can change the world.”
