Becky Lynch’s journey in professional wrestling has been truly remarkable, with both triumphs and challenges along the way. Despite achieving great heights, such as becoming a double champion at WrestleMania 35, Lynch had to face moments of uncertainty, especially when she found out that she was pregnant.
During a May 2020 episode of WWE Monday Night RAW, Lynch announced her pregnancy, symbolically passing the torch to Asuka as she finished her reign as Raw Women’s Champion. The joy of her impending motherhood was tinged with concern about her future with WWE, as Lynch grappled with the daunting task of informing Vince McMahon.
In her memoir “The Man,” Lynch talked about the fear she faced as she contemplated breaking the news to McMahon. She revealed that she feared the possibility of being fired.
“‘How am I going to tell Vince?’ I turned to Colby [Seth Rollins] realizing that beyond our immediate family, the most powerful man in wrestling needed to be the first recipient of our news.”
