In a recent interview with The New York Post, WWE NXT Women’s Champion Becky Lynch discussed several topics, including what winning the title meant to her.

“It very much wasn’t about checking boxes, it was one of those things where there was a little bit of proving to myself how far I’ve come along, writing those wrongs of the past, being very much seen as the fourth Horsewoman, being in line for title shots in NXT out of circumstances, but not because I was actually the one, but because I happened to be there at the right time, so being able to go back and win that and feel like I vindicated my younger self is very, very nice, but really, I think the main thing for me is elevating the NXT title, elevating the NXT brand and being able to work with the younger talent that will have the opportunity to go for a main event of WrestleMania, things that weren’t in place when I was in NXT.

I feel like when I’m able to do that, when I’m able to work with these women that want to go there, then it only brings them up, it only elevates them, it only shows them what they’re missing, what they have to do and then, it shows me how good the future is and that makes me excited and at times puts a little bit of a chip on my shoulder and lets me know I’m still the top dog around here, and I’m going to fight all of y’all.”
