Becky Lynch will challenge Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women’s World Championship this Saturday at WrestleMania 40 (Night One) in Philadelphia, PA.
During a recent appearance on the “Reality of Wrestling” podcast, Lynch expressed her desire to kick off this year’s WrestleMania pay-per-view event. She said,
“Yeah, I’ve never gotten to open WrestleMania. Well, I was on the kickoff show, but we don’t count that. That doesn’t count. I haven’t opened the main show.”
The first match is my favorite match, right? It sets the tone for the night. The crowd is hyped. They’re energetic. This is the first thing they’re going to see. They’ve just come in, they see the stage, and we set the stage. Unfortunately for everybody else, we’re going to steal the show. So it’s all downhill after that.”
As we previously reported here on eWn, Lynch vs. Ripley will be the opening match of WrestleMania 40 (Night One).
In another interview with WNYT, The Man vowed to dethrone Mami this weekend.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On her match with Ripley: “Well, here’s the thing is that when it’s Mami versus The Man, you know we’re gonna steal the show. So I don’t like her. She doesn’t like me. It’s gonna be a fight. It’s going to be a scrap. There’s going to be nothing pretty about it. I’m out for blood. I don’t know about nothing pretty about it, but it’ll be intense. That’s for sure.”
On the attitude she displays in the ring: “I’m born with it. I think there’s that thing of being Irish and feeling that oppression. We still have that chip on our shoulder from the British. We come out of the womb going, you know, we can’t let it go. Can’t let it go. We hate to be held down. We hate for people to put a limit on what we can do. If somebody tells us we can’t do something, it just it pushes us further. Oh yeah, we can’t do it? Just watch me.”
