Why is Becky Lynch called 'The Man'?
Becky Lynch has often been asked about why she calls herself ‘The Man’ when she is a woman. The champion claims that she aims to take over WWE. During an interview, Becky Lynch said that calling herself ‘The Man’ was her way of entering the men’s locker room, going to the company and telling them upfront that she was going to take over WWE. Lynch wanted to get the message across that she is 'The Man' of WWE now.
She indeed stayed true to her words. Since taking on the moniker, Becky Lynch has done some great things in the ring to prove herself as the best wrestler in the company. She became the first woman to hold the RAW and SmackDown titles simultaneously after winning them both at WrestleMania 35. She is also the first female wrestler to have graced the cover of WWE 2K20.
