Former WWE star Becky Lynch has opened up about her historic triple threat match with Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 35, as well as Seth Rollins’ reaction to the match headlining the show.

Lynch revealed in a recent appearance on the “Games With Names” podcast that she was driving when she was informed about main eventing “The Show of Shows.” She stated that Rollins was surprised by the news, owing to him also being on the card, in his match with Brock Lesnar.

on finding out she was main eventing the show: “It was incredible, it was incredible. I was driving from Buffalo New York to Boston. I had like a little dance party in the car and then I told I told Colby — I told my boyfriend at the time, now husband. He was the first person I told, which was probably insensitive of me because he was also hoping to be the main event of WrestleMania that year.”

On Rollins’ reaction to the news: “I’ve said my husband’s a no-seller. So I said, ‘We’re going to main event WrestleMania,’ and he goes, ‘That’s interesting.’ He was like well because normally they don’t announce what the main event and I think up until that point they actually hadn’t … he was right they never actually announce it beforehand. It was a bit of a stab to him, you know. Yeah, I should have handled it more sensitively.”

On Rollins’ giving her support in the leadup to the show: “The week running up, like my husband was just the best. Like, I was just so nervous, scared and would you know … he would just counsel me and remind me that it’s not about the wrestling, it’s not about the moves, it’s about the emotion, it’s about the story being told — which is what it is. We were already there, we already had the crowd, we already had them hooked by the story, and it was just a matter of going out there and doing the damn thing.”

She discussed how Rousey had never been a part of a triple threat match, which she explained is different from singles matches, and revealed that they didn’t discuss the nuances of being in one before the big night.

On Rousey never having done a truple thread before: “But we didn’t really get to plan the match until the day of, and even then like the show had, because, you know, this was a historical match everybody had media, so we were always being dragged in different spots. So we didn’t really have anything up until a few — maybe an hour before we went out.”
