Becky Lynch Says WWE Wanted To Change WrestleMania 38 Match To A Triple Threat Where She Won

Becky Lynch lost the WWE Raw Women’s Championship to Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 38 in the culmination of a feud that began at SummerSlam 2021.

On that night, Lynch had returned from her hiatus due to pregnancy, turning on Belair and winning the title in just 26 seconds.

Speaking on Good One, Lynch looked back on the story with Belair and how WWE wanted to change the plan.

“When I took that title from her, and I know how upset she was because she thought, ‘They don’t believe in me anymore. They think I’m doing a bad job and I get squashed in this way,’ but she was so gracious. She could’ve been like, ‘This bitch is coming in, taking my spot. She’s been gone. I’ve been here putting in the hard work. Now I just have to roll over for her?’ I always wanted to pay it back to her in the biggest way possible. The fact that we were able to get there, and we had to fight. At one point, they wanted to put somebody else into the match and make it a triple threat. I was like, ‘That’s not the story.’ That was going to be my hill that I died on. I was ready to really fight. Thankfully, they changed it. It needed to go back to Bianca. If it had gone to the triple threat, they would’ve kept it on me. The story needed for Bianca to win and take that victory. It felt like a happy and perfect ending,” she said.

Elsewhere during the interview, Lynch spoke highly of MJF. You can find her full comments here.

Lynch will challenge AJ Lee for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 42.
