Current SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch was recently interviewed on the Out of Character podcast, as she talked about her return to WWE and the level of uncertainty behind it. Lynch also commented on the WWE Draft and being drafted to the RAW brand. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Becky Lynch on being unsure whether she would return to WWE after her pregnancy: “Yeah, probably. I was probably 60 percent I was gonna come back, but there is that 40 percent. I don’t know how I’m gonna be as a mother. I know how I am as a single woman with no other real priorities, but as a mom and person who’s in charge of this tiny little baby, I didn’t know how it was gonna be. I didn’t know if it was gonna change me so much that I’d be like, ‘You know what, maybe I just want to be at home now.’ I do not just want to be at home.”
On being drafted to Raw: “Look, I love SmackDown. That’s been my home. SmackDown was the show I watched when I was a fan back at home because we didn’t have cable, so I only saw SmackDown and would get to watch it on Saturday mornings. I was always such a big fan of it. Then I was the first woman drafted to SmackDown back in 2016. So, I’ve always felt so at home there, and my come-up all happened on SmackDown. Everything I’ve done that I’m so proud of really has happened there. So, I suppose this is a new challenge because Raw lately hasn’t been getting as much love. It’s a chance to go over there and make Raw into an awesome show and to show you guys what’s up.”
