Becky Lynch On MITB Briefcase – ‘I Have Wanted It Since It’s Inception’
Becky Lynch will be competing in the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match this Saturday.
Speaking on WWE’s “After the Bell” podcast, the former WWE RAW Women’s Champion commented on her quest to win Money in the Bank and how “The Man” gimmick started at Money in the Bank 2018.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her quest to win Money in the Bank: “Oh my gosh, I have wanted that thing. I have wanted it since it’s inception. I was in the first Money in the Bank, the first Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, where [Carmella] won it, stole it from me. So I’ve been in four, and every single one, I’ve been the last person holding it before I’ve gotten knocked off.
“There’s something so exciting about that briefcase, and I’ve always wanted to hold it because anything can happen. Anything can happen, and it’s that element of surprise that you always have, and that’s what we wrestle for. That’s what we do this for, to elicit a response from the audience, and there is never a better, bigger response than somebody with their briefcase hits the ring, their music hits, and the place just goes electric because anything can happen. I want that. It has eluded me this long, but now I have gotten myself into a precarious situation.”
On her The Man gimmick starting at MITB 2018: “The audience, thank god, have been with me. They’ve been with me on this journey. I have kind of a history with the audience and Money in the Bank. They’re kind of what made me The Man. When we look back at Money in the Bank 2018 and it was the upswell from the audience, any time I would climb that ladder, and there was no way that the office could ignore it.
“That’s really where The Man started, was from the audience responding to me kindly at Money in the Bank, and to reward them, to finally give them their reward and say, ‘Guys, it’s all been worth it’ while I climb that ladder in the O2, in front of my countrymen, in front of the people that I maybe wrestled in front of in little halls in London 20 years ago, it will be worth it. I feel like, yeah, we need it.”
