10 Things You Didn't Know About Becky Lynch
1. Finn Balor & Sheamus Had A Big Impact On Her Career
Becky Lynch and Finn Balor aren’t just colleagues, but close friends and training partners.
A confused 14-year-old with no idea what to do with her life, Becky enrolled in Balor’s newly-opened Irish wrestling school in 2002. Lying about her age so that she could get in and train with her brother, Becky instantly fell in love with the business and formed a close bond with future NXT Champion.
While Balor helped give Becky her start in the business, it was another countryman, Sheamus, who would convince her to come to WWE.
Sheamus, like Balor, became an inspirational figure for Becky. He was the first Irish-born champion in WWE history, and his mainstream success opened Becky’s eyes to what she could achieve in the business herself. While her love for the business was already well-established, Sheamus showed her a clearly-defined path to success in the sport’s upper echelons, one that Becky continues along to this day.
