Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch has cemented her status as a premier professional wrestler, transitioning from the independent circuit to becoming a multi-time champion and a leading figure in WWE’s women’s division. After becoming the inaugural SuperGirls Champion in Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling (ECCW) in 2005, Becky Lynch established herself as a formidable force on the independent professional wrestling circuit across Europe and North America under the ring name Rebecca Knox. Following a six-year hiatus during which she explored acting and worked as a flight attendant, Lynch made her highly anticipated return to wrestling. She signed a developmental deal with WWE in 2013, joining their NXT brand, before making her official main roster debut in July 2015, a moment widely recognized as the catalyst for WWE’s ‘Women’s Revolution.’ Lynch swiftly cemented her status, becoming the inaugural SmackDown Women’s Champion at Backlash 2016.

Lynch subsequently took a hiatus for pregnancy in May 2020, making a celebrated return in August 2021 where she immediately recaptured the SmackDown Women’s Championship, demonstrating her undiminished impact. Her career outside the ring expanded with appearances in various films, television shows, and video games. In 2023, Lynch further solidified her extraordinary legacy, achieving the distinction of becoming the Sixth Women’s Triple Crown Champion and the Sixth Women’s Grand Slam Champion in WWE history. Her continued commitment to the company was underscored by signing a new contract with WWE, and in 2025, she added another significant accomplishment by becoming the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion in her first reign.
