00:00Okay, you're here, you're the champion,

00:02but during this run, are you searching for an identity?

00:06Do you feel like you need an edge or?

00:10Yeah, so that's one of those things

00:12because once you reach the top,

00:15especially as a baby face, well then where do you go?

00:18You know, we had Survivor Series coming up

00:21and I think Charlotte was the champion on the other side

00:23and she was automatically made the leader of that.

00:27But Nikki was the leader of ours, you know,

00:29when I was the champion, I was like,

00:31okay, well, I'm very much not,

00:32they don't think that I'm it, you know,

00:35certainly not yet.

00:37And so I was looking, but I just didn't know,

00:39I didn't know what to do

00:40because the crowd still liked me,

00:42the crowd still loved me.

00:44And I used to always ask John Cena for advice,

00:47but I'd ask him, you know, and he's like,

00:49I don't know who you are.

00:51Yeah, he was like, who are you?

00:53Who are you?

00:53And I was like, well, you know, I'm Becky.

00:56And no, but like, I'm like, well, they know who I am.

00:59And, you know, obviously I wouldn't say this to him,

01:02but I'd be like, well, they know who I am.

01:03They're chanting my name.

01:04But he was right.

01:06Like, he was right.

01:07I didn't know who I was.

01:08Like, I didn't know, apart from being Becky,

01:11the Irish last kicker.

01:12Well, what the hell was the Irish last kicker?

01:14Because I would always get my last kick.

01:16So I didn't know, I didn't have,

01:20I didn't really have an identity.

01:22And I was searching for that.

01:23And I suppose I was the little scrappy underdog from Ireland,

01:26but it wasn't immediately establishable.

01:30And, you know, I dress in the steampunk gear,

01:34but that was really just to give me a look

01:36to stand out from the rest to try and find an identity.

01:39But I was always just trying to find an identity.

01:41But you're just not really grounded yet.

01:43Not really grounded yet.

01:44You're searching, and you're having success, but it's like, okay,

01:47but my foundation could be more solid

01:50to make even bigger and better decisions.

01:52Yes.

01:53Okay, let's get into SummerSlam,

01:56the triple threat match with you, Charlotte, and Carmella.

01:59And let's go to the tape because this is,

02:01it's all in line for you here as a performer.

02:04And you're about to make a major shift in Becky Lynch

02:07and how the world perceives her.

02:09And we're getting somewhere.

02:10We're coming into that, I know who I am thing, I think.

02:14Yes.

02:16Oh, the tap kick!

02:21Okay, you got the arm.

02:24Position.

02:24Boom, it's a vat kick.

02:28And down into the disarmer.

02:32Can she make it to the ropes?

02:35Will she make it to the ropes?

02:36She might just make all the fingernails on the ropes.

02:42She's there.

02:43Okay, the referee makes you break the hold.

02:45Here you come up.

02:48Was that the manhandle?

02:49Uh, no, that's just like a pump angle.

02:52Okay, we'll get back in the disarmer.

02:54Okay, you got it right where you want her.

02:59Modified natural selection, right?

03:01Yep.

03:01Oh, one, two, three.

03:04Charlotte Flair with the big W.

03:07With the big W.

03:08After you seemingly had it within grasp, within a, and from behind.

03:15So here we have our new world champion, and she's got the gold.

03:19And the referee making sure she's got her belt.

03:22She's happy as a clam.

03:23And look at these best friends tugging here.

03:27Yeah.

03:29Probably booed when we did that.

03:30Well.

03:32Yeah, yeah, you can hear them boo, yeah.

03:33Yeah, way to go, way to go champ, buddy.

03:38Oh, that popped.

03:44There you go.

03:46Oh, great reaction from the crowd.

03:50Good, good, good vision there.

03:52So he goes back down, you stomp her out of the ring.

03:59Good luck there.

04:00Defiant.

04:02Disgusted.

04:07Well, sling around a little bit.

04:09End of the barricade.

04:14Good facial.

04:14There you go.

04:18Bam, over the top, end of the corner.

04:26What were you thinking when that, uh, when you took a shot at her?

04:30She goes down, that crowd erupted.

04:33What were you thinking when you're feeling that?

04:34You're like, you're like, listening, like, oh, s***.

04:36Oh, this is cool.

04:37That's good.

04:38Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

04:40Because did you think they were going to boo you?

04:42Not for a single fricking second.

04:44Did anybody think that?

04:46There were some people in the office that thought they were going to boo me.

04:48But there was nobody, nobody, nobody else thought that I was the heel in this thing.

04:53Well, I, but I think they're feeling the same, that they had angst in the situation.

04:58I think, like, it's time for Becky to do something.

05:00Becky's got to do something.

05:02And you did.

05:02And they responded accordingly.

05:04Yeah, so, so what happened at the time was I was getting momentum, getting momentum.

05:08I was going to have, after not doing a lot for the last year, and then I was supposed

05:13to have my big singles match at SummerSlam.

05:16And people were really excited for it.

05:17People wanted to see me versus Carmella.

05:19They wanted to see the title back on me.

05:21And Charlotte ended up getting into the match.

05:24And at that time, Charlotte had so many opportunities.

05:26Nobody wanted to see her in there.

05:28But the company thought that she was going to be the baby face in this, and that by me

05:32turning on my, my friend over a championship, that I would be the bad guy.

05:38But of course, anybody who knew was like, well, you're going to be a badass who just doesn't

05:46care anymore.

05:48And you're going to come and kick crap out of people.

05:51You're going to be like, like Stone Cold, you know, for lack of a better term is what people

05:55thought, you know, and, you know, as in people.

05:58Inside the bubble, who knew, who weren't those people that thought that people would

06:02boo me.

06:03And I think somebody came up to me that the night after, and was like, well, Brooklyn's

06:09a heel crowd, so they would cheer you.

06:10But when you're going to be in Birmingham, Alabama next week, they're going to boo you.

06:14Well, we were in Birmingham, Alabama next week, and they were cheering me.

06:18So, yeah.

06:20So I think anybody who knew, knew that this was, I wasn't going to be a heel, but it was

06:25going to take me to another level.

06:27Right.

06:28And it sure did.

06:29Let's play the promo.

06:29I deserve to be standing here as the woman's champion.

06:39And since that moment was stolen from me, Charlotte Flair deserved the beating that I gave her.

06:46Because SummerSlam wasn't supposed to be about Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns or AJ Styles or Seth

06:52Rollins or Ronda Rousey.

06:54And it certainly wasn't supposed to be about Charlotte Flair.

06:58It was supposed to be about one woman, me.

07:02It was supposed to be my time.

07:05Somehow, somehow I have been made an afterthought.

07:10And you think, you think that after a few nights of praise, that's all going to change.

07:17Well, no, I don't, I don't buy it anymore.

07:19Because you're a generation of all talk, all opinions and no action.

07:24Come SummerSlam, I had had enough of the opinions and I decided to take action.

07:36Because that referee slapping the mat for the third time was like someone counting me out

07:46of a trance, I have never seen anything more clearly in my life.

07:53I knew in that moment that my so-called best friend had been holding me back.

08:01I knew, I knew in that moment that Charlotte Flair had stolen my spotlight, my opportunity for the last time.

08:11I knew in that moment that I was going to raise her hand up and rip her head off.

08:16Because this was supposed to be my time, my opportunity, my turn to be champion.

08:26And not, not because any of you decide that Becky Lynch finally deserves it.

08:33No, no, no, because I say I deserve it.

08:37Because I say that I'm the best.

08:40And there is not a woman on this roster.

08:43Or a person in this arena.

08:46Or any of you watching at home that can tell me different.

08:54Boy.

08:56Mic drop.

08:59Where'd you pull that out of?

09:03Shoot?

09:03Yeah, yeah, of course.

09:05Yeah, shoot.

09:06Yeah, years of being in the back and waiting my turn and not getting in.

09:14Constantly feeling like I was right there and then I get taken off TV.

09:19And right there and then taken off TV.

09:21And so it just, it constantly felt like that.

09:25And I didn't want to, I didn't want to go to the audience that night.

09:29But they really, they really wanted me to.

09:33But, and I said, I said to them, well, when Charlotte beat me, you all stood up and cheered

09:39and you champion.

09:39And when I said that, I could feel like, yeah, we did.

09:43We did.

09:43I'm sorry.

09:44And I felt like there's, there's no way healing on them right now is going to work.

09:49No way.

09:50I did it.

09:51I did it only a little bit.

09:52But, but I knew that it wasn't, it wasn't going to work.

09:56So you're going to have killer matches at Hell in a Cell and Evolution.

09:59Did you feel like you were in the zone there as a performer?

10:03Yes.

10:04Yeah.

10:05Yeah.

10:05It was when I stopped thinking as much about the things that were, what's the next move?

10:14And what are we doing next?

10:16And what's the next spot?

10:16And just sort of being in it and feeling it more and listening to the audience more,

10:21feeling the crowd and the energy and knowing what, um, that was, that was when things shifted

10:28a lot for me.

10:29What was the pressure then?

10:30Because you say, you say you really feel no pressure now as to, to when you were starting.

10:34Not that I feel no pressure now.

10:35Well, no pressure, you know.

10:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.

10:37But it's, it's less, yeah.

10:38But, but was there any pressure on you at that time when you started riding that wave

10:42of steam and momentum?

10:43So at that time.

10:45Because the stakes start getting higher.

10:46Yeah.

10:46At that time there was a lot of pressure, but I was really enjoying it, you know?

10:50I was really enjoying, I was feeling the crowd and the crowd were there behind me and there

10:55was lots of, we want Becky chants throughout, throughout the show.

10:59So when I went out there, I was, you know, I was in my zone.

11:02I had a lot of swagger.

11:03I was really feeling that, really enjoying every second of it.
