Becky Lynch’s recent heel turn after her WrestleMania 41 return has sent shockwaves across WWE, as she unapologetically revealed her motivations behind the comeback. The Man, speaking candidly, made it clear that her decision was centered on the pursuit of wealth, recognition, and overpowering her competition.
Lynch Embraces Ruthlessness After WrestleMania 41
After nearly a year away from in-ring action, Becky Lynch chose to return at WrestleMania 41, but not out of nostalgia or unresolved conflicts. In a direct interview with ET Now, she dropped any pretense of heroism, explaining that her drive was born out of personal gain and a desire to dominate the women’s division.
“The money. The money. The money brought me back,”
—Becky Lynch, WWE Superstar
Lynch openly stated her ambition isn’t limited to adding to her legacy; instead, she wants to claim every opportunity for herself, showing no sympathy toward the rest of the WWE women’s roster. Her bold remarks highlighted her intention to make the environment fiercely competitive and to ensure that she remains at the pinnacle of the sport.
“The money and the fame. The hunger, the power, and the desire to take away opportunities from everyone else. All the other women on the roster — I want to hold them down. I want to take everything for myself because I’m the best to ever do it.”
—Becky Lynch, WWE Superstar
Declaring Her Greatness as Undisputed
Never shy about her abilities, Becky Lynch defended her self-proclaimed status as the greatest, underscoring the support she receives from notable media outlets. She dismissed any suggestion that her confidence might be overstated, doubling down on the sentiment that her reputation is beyond question.
“And it’s not just me saying it. No, Sports Illustrated says it. ET says it… And that’s not hyperbole. Everyone says it. It’s indisputable. It’s a fact. I’m the greatest. I make everyone better.”

What This Means for WWE’s Women’s Division
Lynch’s shift to a villainous persona promises fresh storylines and fierce competition, potentially reshaping the balance of power among WWE’s female athletes. As The Man claims her position at the top, all eyes will be on her upcoming battles and the possible fallout from this seismic change following WrestleMania 41.
