Becky Lynch

Rebecca Quin, known professionally as Becky Lynch, is an Irish professional wrestler recognized for her impact on women's wrestling and sports entertainment. Adopting the ring persona The Man, Lynch began her wrestling career in 2002, competing across Ireland, Europe, and North America under the name Rebecca Knox. She competed in Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling and became the inaugural SuperGirls Champion. After a head injury in Germany led to a hiatus from wrestling, Lynch worked as a flight attendant and studied acting before returning to the ring.

Lynch signed with WWE and was assigned to NXT, where she became part of the Four Horsewomen faction alongside Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, and Bayley. This group played a significant role in elevating women's wrestling within WWE. Lynch made her main roster debut and became the inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion at Backlash. Her popularity surged after a storyline shift, establishing her as a leading figure in WWE.

At WrestleMania 35, Lynch, Flair, and Ronda Rousey became the first women to headline WWE's flagship event, with Lynch winning the main event. She is a seven-time world champion in WWE, holding the SmackDown/Women's World Championship five times and the Raw Women's Championship twice, and is the only wrestler to have held both titles simultaneously. Lynch achieved the longest Raw Women's Title reign and later became a Triple Crown Champion and Grand Slam Champion with a win over Tiffany Stratton for the NXT Women's Title. Her accomplishments include being the first woman named Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Most Popular Wrestler of the Year and leading WWE in merchandise sales as a female performer.

Outside the ring, Lynch has appeared on the cover of ESPN The Magazine and acted in "The Marine 6: Close Quarters" and the third-season premiere of "Young Rock," portraying Cyndi Lauper. Her memoir, "Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl," became a New York Times bestseller, detailing her journey in professional wrestling. Lynch has been recognized for her influence in the industry, including being named one of the Top Female Game-Changers in the 21st Century by Glazia Magazine.
