About Becky Lynch
Becky Lynch is the ring name of Rebecca Quin. She’s an Irish actress and professional wrestler that’s currently signed to WWE. She began her professional wrestling career in 2002 and has been part of WWE since the spring of 2013.

Becky Lynch is famous for being one of the most successful superstars in WWE. Rebecca was born on 30 January 1987 in Limerick, Ireland. Her parents separated when she was just one year old and she grew up in the Baldoyle suburb of Dublin. She started watching wrestling in the 1990s alongside her older brother, Ricky, who also became a wrestler using the ring name Gonzo de Mondo. During her upbringing, she was also involved in basketball, horse riding, and swimming.
She is assigned to perform on the Raw brand, but has been on maternity leave since May 2020. Lynch is one of WWE’s biggest and highest paid stars.
Quin attended the University College in Dublin where she studied history, politics, and philosophy. She eventually dropped out and decided to pursue a career in wrestling. She started studying tapes of wrestling matches and began exercising.
As a teenager, she heard of a wrestling school in Ireland, opened by Paul Tracey and Fergal Devitt. Alongside her brother, she began training there in June 2002. Five months later, she made her professional wrestling debut and developed the ring name, Rebecca Knox. During the early years of her career, she teamed up with her brother during mixed tag team matches.
Main eventing pay-per-views, including WrestleMania 35, as well as putting on five-star wrestling matches is what helped “The Man” earn millions of dollars. Prior to signing a multi-million contract, Quin spent a significant amount of time in the promotions ECCW (Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling), APW (All Pro Wrestling), and Shimmer Women Athletes.
Following a head injury that damaged her health in September 2006, Quin took a six-year hiatus. She wrestled only on three occasions in 2008, 2012, and 2013. During the early 2010s, she managed Britani and Saraya Knight for several shows.
In April 2013, Rebecca signed a development deal with WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) and reported to the developmental territory “NXT”. She was given the ring name Becky Lynch and remained there until July 2015, wrestling the likes of Charlotte (Flair), Sasha Banks, and Bayley, with whom she formed the group The Four Horsewomen.
In July 2015, Lynch was brought to the main roster and paired with Charlotte and Paige on “Raw”. After growing as an in-ring competitor, during the 2016 draft, Lynch was drafted to the “SmackDown” brand.
The success of Becky Lynch came after her incredible portrayal of the character “The Man” in the summer of 2018, which made her one of the biggest and highest-paid stars in WWE. In September 2016, Lynch won her first of four women’s championships, whilst also becoming the inaugural SmackDown Women’s Champion in the process.
Throughout 2017 and 2018, she continued to add her name in the history books by participating in numerous first time ever matches. She was the second entry at the inaugural women’s Royal Rumble match in 2018, and the fan-favorite to win the first three women’s Money in the Bank matches in 2018 and 2019.
In August 2018, Lynch received a title match against Carmella for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, which later turned into a triple threat with Charlotte Flair. Flair pinned Lynch and won the title at SummerSlam; afterward, Lynch attacked Flair and transitioned towards a more aggressive character. She began dubbing herself as “The Man”, which increased her fan support and popularity.
A few months later, in January 2019, she won the second-ever women’s Royal Rumble match and from then, went on to win the very first women’s main event match at WrestleMania 35 against Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey. In the process, Becky Lynch also became the first woman to win and hold the Raw and SmackDown Women’s titles simultaneously.
