Becky Lynch discusses winning the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships with WWE Hall Of Famer Lita.
Earlier this year, Lita and Becky would take on Damage CTRL for the WWE Women’s tag team titles. The pair would topple the champions and would hold the titles through WrestleMania.
While speaking on Mark Andrews’s My Love Letter to Wrestling podcast, Becky discussed the decision. She stated that it felt like WWE were leading the story down a “side road.”
Well, it was all a bit crazy (winning Women’s Tag Titles with Lita). When that was decided, I don’t think that was never meant to be the plan and then they just took a side road and decided that would be the best outcome and I think what was so great going into that match was that nobody knew what was going to happen and people had ideas and this could happen and then we could go this way or we could go that way and there was so many ways we could go and then to be standing side by side with the woman that inspired you to get into this in the first place when we’re talking about that grassroots thing of being back and I was coming down with my dyed red hair and my baggy pants and wearing my thong outside my clothes and trying to look like Lita and here I was standing side by side as an equal about to go capture the tag titles.

If you’re telling your teenage self that’s gonna happen when you’re older, teenage self would slap you across the face and tell you to get realistic, you know what I mean? So yeah, it was really awesome but she’s over the years become such a great friend and a mentor and I think because she was that misfit, that little rock and roll grunger that had big dreams and she recognized that in me, that it didn’t necessarily fit the mold but I had that love for the business and I think we’ve kind of been kindred spirits in that way.
Sometimes as a babyface, I almost don’t know how to interact with other babyfaces because The Man is so untrusting of everybody because she’s been burned so many times that sometimes I’m like… hello friend? (she laughed) I feel very awkward in that setting but if I was going to have a tag team partner, you couldn’t ask for better. But even having gotten to do the story with her last year, as short as it was, it was one of the stories in wrestling that I’ve been most proud of and one of the matches I’m most proud of so now I’ve had a lot of history with the person who inspired me the most, the woman who inspired me the most which is great.

Becky returned to Monday Night RAW this past week, surprising Trish Stratus from behind and beginning to get some payback against the Hall of Famer after Stratus cost Becky the Women’s Tag Team Championships. We will have to wait and see if WWE will have any side roads planned for this feud.
