Becky Lynch did an interview with Sports Illustrated to promote her WWE SmackDown Women’s Title defense against Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks at WWE Crown Jewel. Here are the highlights:
Wrestling Banks on tonight’s SmackDown:
“Sasha Banks has been kicking me out of rings since 2016, and every time she does it, it just grinds my gears a little more,” says Lynch, the reigning SmackDown women’s champion. “She did it last month at Extreme Rules, and now she’s in for an a—whooping.
I whooped her a– back in 2019, and she still has nightmares from that Hell in a Cell match,” Lynch says. “I’m going to beat her on SmackDown, I’m going to beat her again at Crown Jewel and I’m going to take pleasure in doing it.”
The match between Banks and Belair at WrestleMania 37:
“They had a tremendous match and it was a great moment to watch,” Lynch says. “But I would be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous. I was hoping to be back by WrestleMania, especially considering it was the first time back in front of fans. I thought they were amazing. They’d worked so long and hard without any fans, and that’s why what Sasha did last year was so incredible. I was very happy for them both.”
