She\u00a0spoke about the chaotic schedule she\u2019s been keeping since WrestleMania as a duel champion, plus\u00a0Ronda Rousey and whether a rematch is in their future at some point and who she\u2019d like to face at next year\u2019s WrestleMania. Becky isn\u2019t shy about still taking a few jabs even with Ronda now on hiatus from WWE.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>Q: There was a lot made of Ronda Rousey being in WWE the last year. What type of lasting impact do you think that she will have, not just on the Women\u2019s Division, but on WWE as a whole?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A: Ronda Rousey is a tremendous, natural, athlete. She\u2019s born tough, and born tough isn\u2019t the same as being made tough. I think I saw the best of Ronda Rousey. But we also saw what happens when she gets defeated. She leaves, and we haven\u2019t seen her since&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>Q: What are your expectations that she will return?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A: I don\u2019t know. We\u2019ve seen what happens when Ronda Rousey gets beat. She throws a little hissy fit and she goes hiding under her blankie for however long, but she is a tremendous athlete. She is the baddest woman on the planet, but I beat her.<\/p>\n<p><b>Q: Would you like a rematch at next year\u2019s WrestleMania, or who else would you like to face?<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>\nA: If Ronda Rousey is ready to come back to try to prove herself, I would absolutely take her on. If not, then there\u2019s plenty of other women here who are ready, willing, going day in, day out, that I would love to fight.<\/p>\n<p><b>Q: What you are doing here, being \u201cBecky Two Belts,\u201d is resonating beyond the world of WWE. What does the character of Becky Lynch say to women as they\u2019re trying to climb that corporate ladder or go for a doctorate or, even, walking into the boss\u2019s office and asking for a pay raise? What type of strength are they drawing from the Becky Lynch character?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A: It\u2019s just there\u2019s nothing that we can\u2019t achieve now, right? We\u2019re in this time when we\u2019re on such an equal playing ground. We still have to fight a little bit, here and there, but it\u2019s all achievable. Nobody can tell us anymore that you can\u2019t do it because you\u2019re this gender, or you\u2019re this race, or you\u2019re this anything, you\u2019re this age, whatever. We\u2019re in the most opportunistic time on the planet. It\u2019s just about grabbing whatever it is that you want, and going after it, and not taking no for an answer.\u00a0Look, at the end of the day, somebody says no, they say no, but at least you go out trying, you know? You don\u2019t ask, you don\u2019t get. If you fail, well, then, you\u2019re just one failure away from succeeding, you know?<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4130845023\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/losangeles.cbslocal.com\/2019\/05\/07\/wwe-becky-lynch-raw-smackdown-champion-ronda-rousey-hissy-fit\/\">full interview<\/a>, we also discuss the differences between Raw and SmackDown, how differently she prepares to face Lacey Evans than Charlotte Flair, why she has excelled in promos, and the impact that her role as double champion is having on women\u2019s equality outside of WWE.\u00a0You can read the full interview\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/losangeles.cbslocal.com\/2019\/05\/07\/wwe-becky-lynch-raw-smackdown-champion-ronda-rousey-hissy-fit\/\">HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1176285601\"><div id=\"pwtor-939233302\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The following are interview highlights from Chuck Carol&#8217;s interview with Becky Lynch for CBS Local\u00a0out of Los Angeles, Calif. supplied to PWTorch by the author.
