Becky Lynch and Steve Austin

During this week's episode of "Straight Up Steve Austin", show host Steve Austin heaped praise on Becky Lynch's character of The Man, and asked her about the origins of the character.

Austin asked how Lynch presented the character to WWE higher-ups, and how hard she had to work to push the idea through, but to Austin's surprise, Becky Lynch admitted it all happened after a chance post on Instagram.

Lynch said she posted something about being "The Man" in WWE on Instagram one day, and when the phrase caught on, WWE officials just went with it and the concept became the basis for Lynch's rejuvenated character on the main roster.

Lynch said she knew the character was really taking off in WWE when officials informed her she would be getting her own "The Man" t-shirt, and it felt great to have landed on the new character concept.
