Becky Lynch brings a bonafide star power to the WWE programming like nobody else in the women’s division.

Lynch was further praised for her humble and professional side during that tenure which wasn’t necessarily needed,
“She did a great deal for us, was good from a ratings standpoint, was great professionally to get to work with, was great creatively for us, and then also did everything that she could to lift our women’s division. To also continue to work with a number of the young ladies, she never once didn’t have time whether it was getting in there physically, or helping them verbally.” (quotes courtesy Wrestling INC)
