The landscape of WWE has undergone significant transformation over the years, particularly in how female wrestlers are perceived and presented. Becky Lynch, a prominent figure in WWE, has been vocal about the evolution of women’s wrestling in the company. She made her impactful debut on the main roster with Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks, an event that signaled the beginning of what was termed the Women’s Revolution within WWE.
In a candid discussion with Steve Fall of Wrestling News Co, Lynch shed light on the composition of WWE’s creative team, particularly the representation of women. She expressed her thoughts on the Women’s Revolution, criticizing its execution. “The creative team? Not very many. I think like this age there’s only one, is it? I think there’s only one. Yeah, just Alex, right? Yeah. I think just one,” Lynch remarked. She also mentioned her book, “Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Girl,” where she elaborates on her perspective, “It was so poorly executed and just didn’t need to happen in that manner in that way, but I suppose it was like the marketing thing, and it was not executed well.”
Lynch’s tenure in WWE lends credibility to her insights about the company’s operations, especially regarding the creative team. Her comments suggest a disconnect between the marketing of the Women’s Revolution and the actual storytelling and wrestling opportunities provided to the female talent.
In related news, Ronda Rousey, another WWE superstar, has also been open about her experiences with the company. Following her departure, Rousey detailed her dissatisfaction in her second autobiography, “Our Fight: A Memoir.” She revealed that there were initial plans for a one-on-one match between her and Becky Lynch at WrestleMania in Dallas. However, WWE’s plans shifted, leading to Rousey facing Charlotte Flair and Lynch taking on Bianca Belair at the event.
The discussion around WWE’s handling of its female talent continues, with both Lynch and Rousey contributing to the conversation through their experiences and published works. As the industry evolves, their voices add to the ongoing dialogue about the representation and treatment of women in professional wrestling.
