The King of Queens. Becky Two Belts. The Man. Becky Lynch.
2018 Sports Illustrated women’s wrestler of the year. 2018 CBS Sports wrestler of the year. 1 time, and current, RAW Women’s Champion. 3 time (and inaugural) Smackdown Women’s Champion. 2019 Women’s Royal Rumble winner. Winner of the first ever women’s Wrestlemania main event. The list goes on.
Becky Lynch, real name Rebecca Quinn, is from Dublin, Ireland. She is a professional wrestler currently signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). She’s been wrestling since mid-2002. She was trained by Fergal Devitt, who is more commonly known by his WWE ring name Finn Balor and old New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) name, Prince Devitt. She stopped wrestling in 2006 after a severe head injury, and didn’t return until late 2012; Lynch signed with WWE in 2013.
She’s one of the biggest draws the company has right now. And since Summer Slam 2018, has been one of the hottest wrestlers the company has seen since the tail end of CM Punk’s stint in WWE from 2011 to his exit in 2014.
Lynch has history with the NHL. She’s appeared for the New Jersey Devils in the past alongside the likes of Daniel Bryan and others. But it’s time that she comes to the loudest house in the NHL. A perfect time to bring her in would be whenever WWE is running shows in Charlotte, Raleigh, or Greensboro.
