Becky Lynch is another who knows all about turning a decent career into a special one.

The road to her personal epiphany began when smiley Becky was cast in The Marine 6: Close Quarters alongside Shawn Michaels and The Miz. What seemed like another step sideways for the so-called 'Lass Kicker' ended up being a life-altering experience. On set, she revealed to Michaels that she wasn't content with her positioning in WWE.

Knowing full well what he was talking about due to years of being a top star himself, HBK told Lynch she should carry herself like the best thing going as soon as she returned to the road. That's exactly what Becky did. From then on, she held her head high, put some cockiness in her walk and developed 'The Man' mindset.

It didn't take long for fans to tag along with Becky's new spirit, treat her like a top name and demand that she was pushed to the moon by creative. Her confidence, strut and self-belief changed everything in 2018. Lynch went from playing second-fiddle to headlining WrestleMania, and she had Shawn Michaels to thank for seeing what she couldn't.
