In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet as part of the INSIGHT With Chris Van Vliet podcast, WWE superstar Becky Lynch discussed several topics, including getting the opportunity to main event a WrestleMania pay-per-view, the original plans for the finish at WrestleMania 35 and more.
“I was in the moment, I couldn’t see it, but the discourse afterwards, and also the sound of the audience made it seem like something had gone wrong, but obviously at the time, I wasn’t aware, and yeah, I don’t know, I don’t know if that was intentional or accidental.
I could see the motivation for it being intentional, like oh well, this will be my out to get a second match in the long game, or it could have just been accidental. It should have ended with a pinfall, but not with the shoulder up.
She had her driver take her to the wrong spot, and so she showed up I think, like an hour late, and we had been talking through stuff, and TJ our producer, an amazing producer, TJ Wilson, I’ve known him since 2006. Anyway, he’s like, maybe you have Ronda in an armbar, she looks like she’s about to tap out, and so Ronda comes and we tell her the creative and say, then you’re almost about to tap out.
Ronda says oh no, my Mom wouldn’t look me in the eye or talk to me again if I looked like I was about to tap out. All right, well she’s probably not going to tap out on the finish, so you know, she never tapped out in her career, I understood it, respected it and moved on quickly, I was going to win two titles in the main event of WrestleMania, it was not a big deal whether she tapped out or not, it was I was winning and she was doing the honors.”
