Becky Lynch reflects on a time she got to work with The Rock.
The current reigning NXT Women’s Champion spoke about The Great One during a recent interview on Chris Van Vilet, where she recalled sharing a ring with Rocky on SmackDown’s FOX premiere back in 2019. The Man says that working with him is super easy because he’s so in tune with the energy of the crowd. She later asked herself how she could get even more over after seeing the reactions he got.
I mean, look, when you’re working with Dwayne, it’s, well, one, it’s so easy because anything you do gets a reaction and he’s so good. And he’s so in tune with with the energy of everyone, the entire universe, I think you can see that by how he’s just, you know, taken over the world. But he also makes everybody feel so comfortable. And he wants everything to be the best. And he takes care of everybody that’s around him. But also then you are just so wracked with nerves because you’re going toe to toe with The Great One. He’s The Great One who’s got, you know, more charisma in his pinky than, I mean, him and Roux could compete maybe, yeah. But it is like a bit of a nerve-wracking experience because you want to hold your own and you have to hold your own. Because he’s giving you the torch, he is saying, Here you go. Let me give you the rub, kid. And no, he really looked after all of us, getting to work with him and being out there and feeling the energy of the crowd. And then you go, that’s what I want. I want people to react to me that way. And that’s a very cool thing. Because you get to experience it and you go, Okay, I knew I was hot. This is a different level of hot. How do I get this level of hot?
Elsewhere in the interview, Lynch spoke about her recent showdown with WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus at Payback, and why she believes they stole the show. You can read about that by clicking here, or check out her full interview with Van Vilet below.
