WWE Backlash 2016: 10 Things You Might Have Missed
3. Becky Lynch Emotion Was Totally Genuine
WWE performers, male and female, are expected to be professional and confident at all times. Almost bullet proof, they have to put up with a lot of pressure, adapting performances on the fly and dealing with anything thrown their way. It's a tough gig, but sometimes geeky happiness shines through.
It was noticeable when Kevin Owens won the WWE Universal Title, and it was definitely on show when Becky Lynch became the first ever SmackDown Women's Champion at Backlash. Charlie Caruso entered the ring to grab a quick word with Becky, and the female grappler's promo felt a tad disjointed, perhaps even scrappy.
There was a reason for that, Lynch was still coming to terms with what had just happened. Wearing an expression of sheer disbelief, Becky could barely even scramble together a decent post-match interview. Some may not have picked up on this, but the woman was 100% living out her dreams.
Like a kid on Christmas morning, Becky had obviously imagined this moment for years. Watching her promo repeatedly makes it clear that she was in a daze when speaking to Caruso.
