When looking back on the legacy of women's wrestling, it will be impossible to ignore this captivating performer's impact on the industry. Becky Lynch, real name Rebecca Quin, is a leading member of the Four Horsewomen and one of the most important people in the WWE Women's Revolution. She rose to stardom thanks to her impressive in-ring skills, ability to connect with her audience, and excellent run as The Man.

Fans, hardcore and casual alike, know plenty of things about this dynamic superstar. Most remember that she was the first-ever SmackDown Women's Champion, as well as holding the accolades of winning the first-ever women's WrestleMania main event and training with fellow Irish wrestler Finn Balor. However, while there are plenty of easy-to-pick facts ready and available, that's only scratching the surface.

You don't become a star like Lynch without accruing some fascinating backstage tidbits, and she certainly has a few of those. Throughout her career, Becky Lynch has seen many trials and tribulations, as well as amusing anecdotes and fascinating revelations.

Even the biggest fan of this once-in-a-lifetime performer will be left amazed by these facts.

A wrestler's name is critical to their image, and it's safe to say that not all are created equal. Sadly, WWE has a history of poorly re-branding performers and giving them lame names; just look at Shorty G, Butch, or the mass extinction of wrestler surnames.

When Lynch first made her way into WWE, she needed a fresh title to carry her in the industry. This led to her and the promotion coming up with a few ideas, and some were better than others.

Lynch revealed in an interview with Sports Illustrated that she tried to come up with a cool Irish name to start. Her first idea was to take her real-life surname, Quin, and make a play on the Irish mythological figure Cú Chulainn, calling herself Quin Chulainn. But this didn't last, and WWE provided their own takes.

One of these concepts was Becky Lynch, which obviously stuck and worked perfectly. But the others were Madeleine and Robin Daly. Quin vetoed Madeleine as she said it "made me think of that TV show Madeliene."

She claimed that she liked Robin Daly - even though it sounds like a dumb pun name for a bank robber - but went with Becky Lynch as it associated with her real first name, Rebecca. Yeah, that was definitely the right call!
