Becky Lynch Looks Back At Lita Match In Saudi Arabia, Ronda Rousey's Influence On Women In MMA & Wrestling


Becky Lynch recently joined Seth Rollins for an appearance on the Out Of Character with Ryan Satin podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling and WWE.

During the discussion, "Big Time Becks" spoke about defeating Lita at WWE Elimination Chamber in Saudi Arabia, Ronda Rousey's influence on women in pro wrestling and MMA and more.

Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.

On defeating Lita at WWE Elimination Chamber in Saudi Arabia: “I don’t know how I feel about doing a show over there but then somebody mentioned that, ‘Look, you don’t get to influence people by not being there’ you know? You get to show these women and young girls what’s possible and that’s amazing. The audience are so receptive and they love it and their reaction through everything is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. So, to know that you maybe have a small part in influencing a young girl who wouldn’t have been aware of this thing otherwise, is really incredible."

On the influence Ronda Rousey had on women in MMA and pro wrestling: “I hate to bring her up but if Ronda Rousey, credit where credit is due. Look, if Ronda Rousey hadn’t been as good as she was in MMA, there wouldn’t have been women in the UFC and women [wouldn’t] see that and say, ‘I want to do that too.’ It starts by showing people what’s possible so that we can change the world.”
