Becky Lynch has been one of the biggest stars of WWE's women's division. When Lynch was a teenager, she began training with Finn Balor in her native country, Ireland. Before she even turned twenty, she was working all over the world as an independent wrestler.

The former WWE RAW Women's Champion spent much of her early independent career in Canada, where she wrestled for SuperGirls. During that time, Lynch also helped train prospective wrestlers such as Undisputed Era's Kyle O'Reilly. The Man revealed on The Jim Ross Report that she taught during his first-ever lesson in his home country.
