Shocking: Becky Lynch First Pregnant Woman To Compete At Wrestlemania!

Becky Lynch has become the headliner of the pro-wrestling industry since this Monday Night not for her accolade as the WWE Raw Women’s Champion but for something very special.

She opened RAW on the USA Network announcing that she is pregnant with her first child. The Man vacated the RAW Women’s Title to Asuka, revealing that Sunday’s Ladder Match was not for the women’s MITB briefcase but for the actual RAW Women’s Championship.

Thus, she went into a hiatus for an indefinite time span. Even while wrestling his last match at WrestleMania 36, she achieved a benchmark.

As per the reports of Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, Becky Lynch was pregnant while defending her Raw Women’s Championship against Shayna Baszler. Thus, The Man becomes the first woman to achieve the rate feat of wrestling at the biggest event of the year while being pregnant.

Here’s more from the report from the source,

“When she wrestled Shayna Baszler… she became the first-ever WWE performer that I know of to work a WrestleMania while pregnant. It makes her a hell of a warrior, but it also might explain why that match was not the physical war that we all expected…. Obviously, the finish there was a little safe and a little weird and that match did not live up to what a lot of people think it should have been, but in hindsight, that makes a lot more sense and kudos to everybody involved.”

Johnson’s comments are proof that Becky Lynch wrestled at WrestleMania 36 knowing that she was pregnant. While nothing was mentioned whether that put the baby in risk, it’s worth mentioning that the intensity of the matchup was toned down to a significant extent.

Initially, the expectation was that Shayna Baszler and Lynch will tear the house down in a physical contest given how their feud has picked up since Baszler’s Raw debut.

But the match itself turned out to be an underwhelming affair with a lame finish that was supposedly created to keep Becky Lynch as much as safe. Even Shayna Baszler allegedly knew that her opponent was expecting a baby and she trimmed down her MMA kind of action style, as well.

After Lynch went through pregnancy tests in April and got confirmed about it, WWE pulled her off action, and then from TV she publicly announced it on this week’s Raw.

Becky Lynch has been in a relationship with fiancee Seth Rollins and whether it’s yet to be confirmed, we believe that they are expecting this child together. Before relinquishing the title, Becky had the longest run by holding it for more than 400 days. She won it at WrestleMania 35 by pinning Ronda Rousey.
