The Man Becky Lynch is the first female Superstar to win the main event of WrestleMania. She did so by pinning Ronda Rousey. Lynch also became the first star to hold with the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Titles at the same time.
Recently, while speaking to Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast, Becky Lynch opened up about the original finish to the match. The original plan was supposed to see Lynch make Rousey tap out in the main event.
Lynch explained how Rousey didn’t want to tap out because it would create issues with her mother, a real-life judo instructor. The Man says she understood it and respected it, then got over it quickly because she knew she was still winning the match.
“Well, so that the creative that was laid out. So she had her driver take her to the wrong spot. And so she showed up, I think, like an hour [late], and we’d been talking through stuff. And TJ, our producer, an amazing producer, TJ Wilson. I’ve known him since 2006. And we were road-tripping across Canada and into Washington and Portland. It’s a wild journey. And anyway, he’s like, maybe you have Rhonda in an armbar, she looks like she’s about to tap out.
“And so Ronda comes and we tell her the creative and say and then you’re almost about to tap out. [Ronda says] Oh no, my mom wouldn’t look me in the eye or talk to me again if I looked like I was about to tap out. All right, well, she’s probably not going to tap out on the finish. So you know, she never tapped out in her career. So I understood it, respected it and moved on quickly. I was gonna win two titles in the main event of WrestleMania. It was not a big deal whether she tapped out or not. It was I was winning and she was doing the honours,” Becky Lynch said.
Lynch might have been very happy about her WrestleMania 35 win regardless of how it happened, but she recently shared why losing at WrestleMania 38 was more rewarding.
