The Man Becky Lynch has had some of the biggest moments at the grandest stage of them all. Her biggest achievement was defeating Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 35. But The Man claimed that winning the main event of WrestleMania 35 wasn’t as enjoyable as her match against Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 38, where she lost.
Recently, while speaking to Justin Barrasso for Sports Illustrated, Lynch opened up about how much she enjoyed her WrestleMania 38 match more than her match at WrestleMania 35.
“I enjoyed WrestleMania 38 where I lost to Bianca more than I enjoyed WrestleMania 35,” said Lynch. “I think Daniel Bryan said something similar, as well, about enjoying his WrestleMania match against Kofi [at WrestleMania 35] than he did WrestleMania 30. It’s weird like that. Sometimes, what we enjoy in terms of our artistic expression aren’t always the stories that audiences revere the most.”
The Man revealed that she had more freedom creatively when she wrestled Bianca Belair than her match at WrestleMania 35.
“When you were a top babyface, you were micromanaged a little more,” said Lynch, referring to former WWE boss Vince McMahon. “At WrestleMania 38, I had more freedom creatively. When you’re the villain, you’re making the crowd like someone else. There’s a lot of fun in putting the shine on someone else.”

Becky Lynch also opened up about winning both the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championships at WrestleMania 35.
“That’s the girlhood-dream-come-true moment,” said Lynch. “Everyone asks me, ‘How did I feel?’ I felt everything, but I also felt nothing. It’s this weird juxtaposition. I made it, but had anything changed? There were fireworks, but my internal landscape wasn’t any different. I found it one of the harder things to write about in my book. That’s the thing people want to read about it. I understand thatt–it’s the culmination.
“Then the next night I’m brought back to earth when I had to do a segment with Lacey Evans on one-hour sleep while Vince was yelling at me in Gorilla. On the flip side, there was the confidence and the cockiness I walked around with leading up to that match at WrestleMania 35.
“Ultimately, it wasn’t my destination. It was another important stop on my journey.”
Becky Lynch is looking to win championship gold once again at WrestleMania 40 when she challenges Rhea Ripley.
