She always had her eyes set on the United States and the WWE. She eventually signed with WWE in 2013. Since then, she’s worked her way through the ranks and stands as one of the most popular female wrestlers in the WWE today.
Her nickname is ‘The Man.’

Being The Man isn’t a prize to win, it’s a mindset to own. I’m feeling it. Heads will be slapped off shoulders tonight, lads. #SDLive

Why do people call Becky Lynch “The Man”? Well, according to her bio on WWE’s website it was a self-imposed title. “The old saying goes: To be The Man, you have to beat The Man. There is no one left for Becky Lynch to beat, so is it any surprise she calls herself The Man?” It came about in 2018 after she won her second SmackDown Women’s Championship.
She’s serious about her workouts.

Lynch is a professional wrestler, after all. She posts photos of her fitness routine on Instagram (which include lifting weights and running), and often joins WWE Superstar Sheamus (a.k.a. “The Celtic Warrior”) for workouts on YouTube.
She eats a healthy diet.

She told News-Press‘s “In The Kitchen” column that she can’t make it through the day without coffee, oatmeal, and bananas, and that she often has dinner provided by WWE catering that includes “a beautiful, colorful salad. Green salad, grilled veggies, some berries and top it off with feta cheese, chickpeas and almond slivers.” She also said her guilty pleasure is chocolate.
