Becky Lynch returned to WWE at SummerSlam 2021 after taking a break to give birth to her first child, Roux. Now, speaking to Stone Cold Steve Austin on Broken Skull Sessions on Peacock, Becky Lynch revealed she's having more fun than ever as she doesn't have the anxieties of overthinking about wrestling now that there are more important things to focus on in motherhood.
"I feel like I'm hitting my stride. I'm having more fun now than I ever have," said Lynch. " think that it's many reasons. I have more freedom and I'm having fun with that. I think I'm a little bit more confident. Also one thing, and I think the biggest thing is, it's not everything in my life right now. So wrestling used to be everything in my life that if anything went wrong, I would just focus and dwell on it until my head would explode. It would just become this, this constant anxiety. Now, I don't have time to do that, I've got something more important. Once I'm done, I have to go back and be a mom and I can think about [wrestling] for a while when she's gone to bed. But, I have to ultimately concentrate on something else. "
Regarding motherhood, Becky says she wasn't sure how she would take to being a mother but says it's been the best experience.
"Being a mom is great. Oh my god, it's way better than I ever thought it was going to be. Oh, my God, I was terrified. Before, I was terrified. You know, it's like, 'Everything's gone. My freedom, my life is over. I don't Am I gonna be able to pick up where I left off? Am I going to be able to get back in shape?' All of these things that you worry about. 'Am I going to be a good mother? Like, what if I don't bond with her?' All these things, but she's the best. I smile every day because of her. We take her on the road everywhere with us. I don't really sleep but I just drink more coffee, and yeah, just got the best of both worlds now and it makes everything better."
