Hello guys, welcome back to Amolipi channel, where you can learn more interesting information about
your favorite actors and athletes. In today's video, let's take a look at the career and some
interesting facts about WWE star Becky Lynch. Irish professional wrestler and actress
Rebecca Quin was born on January 30, 1987 in Limerick, Ireland. She is signed to WWE under the
ring name Becky Lynch where she performs on the Raw brand, and is the current Raw Women's Champion
in her second reign. Lynch is one of WWE's most recognizable and highest paid wrestlers.
Twitter named her sixth on their list of Top Female Athletes Worldwide in 2019.
Quin's parents separated when she was one year old. She started watching professional wrestling
from a young age with her brother, Richy, who later wrestled under the ring name Gonzo de Mondo.
She was involved in horse riding, swimming, and basketball.
Quin attended University College Dublin to study philosophy,
history and politics, but said she 'really hated it' and dropped out.
She planned to return to college to study health and exercise studies.
Quin began dating fellow professional wrestler Colby Lopez, better known as Seth Rollins,
in January 2019. Their daughter, Roux, was born on December 4, 2020.
Quin and Lopez got married on June 29, 2021. Lopez announced their marriage
on his Instagram Stories, writing "seems like a fine day to (finally) get married".
Quin began training as a professional wrestler in 2002. Initially working in Ireland, and
occasionally teaming with her brother using the ring name Rebecca Knox, she soon began wrestling
across Europe and North America on the independent circuit for various promotions. She most notably
competed in Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling and became the inaugural SuperGirls Champion in
2005. In 2006, Quin suffered a severe head injury during a match which kept her away
from wrestling for several years. She returned 2012 and signed a contract with WWE in 2013,
assigned to the developmental territory at NXT. Following her push to WWE's main roster, she
became the inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion at Backlash 2016 and has held the title four times.
In 2018, Lynch transitioned to a more aggressive character starting at SummerSlam, when she
attacked Charlotte Flair, presenting herself as an unfairly-treated underdog and dubbing herself
"The Man", resulting in a large increase in her popularity. In 2019, she won a Royal Rumble match,
and at WrestleMania 35 won both the Raw Women's Championship and SmackDown Women's Championship,
making her the first woman to hold both titles simultaneously and a four-time WWE
women's champion. She lost the SmackDown title the following month but then set the record for
the longest reign as Raw Women's Champion at 373 days until going on a hiatus due to pregnancy
in May 2020. In August 2021, Lynch returned at SummerSlam to confront SmackDown Women's Champion
Bianca Belair, whom she would defeat seconds later to become a four-time SmackDown Women's Champion.
Lynch is by far one of the highest-paid WWE female
wrestlers today. Her net worth as of now is around $6 million.
Substance abuse isn't uncommon in professional wrestling. However,
Becky's battle with alcohol came early in her career before she was the star she is today.
She is on record saying that she was "going down a bad path" during her teenage years,
but training to become a wrestler helped sharpen her focus and stay sober.
During her time away from wrestling, Quin worked as an actress and was cast in numerous plays in
2011 and 2012. She graduated with a degree in acting from the Dublin Institute of Technology,
and has attended Columbia College Chicago and the Gaiety School of Acting. She also
worked as a flight attendant with Aer Lingus for two and a half years.
"The Man" persona is one of the best gimmicks ever created for a female wrestler and Becky is
the perfect woman to fill the role. She has the confidence and swagger to pull it off without
being perceived as a heel. Before coming into her own as a character, she dressed in steampunk gear
and wore goggles to the ring. It wasn't her best look, but it is one that she created.
While many female competitors have fallen down to Ronda Rousey's incredible offensive striking,
“The Man” could very well turn out to be the odd one out, eventually.
One notable fact about Becky Lynch includes her being very proficient in professional combat,
with the Relentless One receiving credible training in the sport, and can literally
fight for real. Becky genuinely seems to have a different adulation for martial arts and could
be very deadly if provoked. This definitely is a testament to her straight fire attitude and her
willingness to explore different sports, as “The Man” also has a genuine love for horse riding,
basketball, and swimming. Despite the fact that Becky claimed to fail P.E. in school,
she has still been very ambitious in exploring and trying different things.
