Becky Lynch did an interview with Brian Fritz of Sporting News discussing her year as Raw Women's Champion, WrestleMania, and more. Highlights:
On the unique circumstances: " It's very different, right? It's all about adaption and I wouldn't be where I am in my career if I wasn't about to adapt to that and know when to shift when the time is right. So I think that you just have to go into a different mode, you have to realize that you're not going to get the same feedback. It feels so good when we have the crowd responding. But to know that, OK, you're not going to get that feedback. You have to tell them a story. The people that are watching at home, the millions of people that are watching at home, you have to tell them a story. You have to give them a reason to care. You have to give them a reason to think about something else for a little bit whether it's an hour or three hours or whatever it is. Then you just figure out how can I do this the best and that's all this ever is for me: how can I do this the best."
Whether she has to "think" more in the ring with no fans: "Yeah, it is. That is the thing — I've always been somebody who fed off that energy and connected to the crowd. Now, they're just not there to let you know that you're connected to them. It really is just remembering that there are millions of people watching at home and that you are reaching them but now in a different way. So now, little details are even more important than they ever were."
How She Has Stayed Fresh Over the Last Year as Raw Women's Champion: "Always adapting. Always adapt and always trying to change and take chances. Take risks and sometimes they don't work, sometimes you might fall flat on your face but you got to keep trying and I think that's the most important thing. Be willing to go out there and be willing to change and be willing to try things even if they don't work."
Reflecting on last year's Wrestlemania Moment: "Yeah. I've had a little time to think about it. It's pretty crazy and it brings its own challenges. And because of that, because I've had it for a year, I've been nonstop going for a year, over a year. So, it really was a case of constantly going and constantly being on the go and now and I've finally gotten the chance to reflect on the past year and reflect on what I want for the future, the next year, which is pretty cool."
