Rebecca Quin, the fiery redhead who is more popularly known by her ring name “Becky Lynch”, is the biggest name in the WWE Women division. Her ruthless persona, un-matched power, and athleticism have made her the greatest name of all. Born in 1987, Jan 30 (age 33), she was raised in Dublin. Her parents got separated when she was young. According to Becky, her inspiration for wrestling comes from her childhood memories of enjoying professional wrestling with her brother, Richy.

Her brother became a wrestler and went by the name “Gonzo del Mondo”.  Rebecca was fond of sports from an early age and cited that she loved horse riding, swimming, and basketball. Surprisingly, being such a sportsperson, she ended up failing P.E in school.

She attended Quin University and studied philosophy and politics, but was least interested in these subjects and dropped out. Becky plans to resume her studies and wants to major in interesting subjects such as health and exercise studies.

Without struggle, there is no success. Prior to wrestling, Rebecca stated that she was struggling to keep up with everything and went down the dark path of alcohol abuse. But professional wrestling helped her channel her energy into more productive things.

Unlike some of the other divas, wrestling has always been the main thing for Becky. She started wrestling in Ireland, teamed up with her brother under the ring name Rebecca Knox. Later, she explored the wrestling world and went to Europe and North America. She competed in many competitions there.

Most notable is her performance in Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling. In 2005, she became the inaugural SuperGirls Champion. She stunned everyone with her powerful wrestling moves and swift submissions. In 2006, in some event, she got injured badly in the head which resulted in long hiatus.  

2012 was the year when the Queen once again stepped in the ring to claim what was rightfully hers. She signed the contract with WWE. There was no stopping her now as she became an inaugural SmackDown Women’s Champion at Backlash 2016.  She reined for 3 consecutive years.

Her popularity grew rapidly. Fans loved to see her stage. Her beauty and strength mesmerized the audience. By this time, she transitioned towards a more aggressive persona which of course became a fan favorite. Becky Lynch made it clear from the start that no one can dare to mess with her.
