For every competitor, confidence needs to be evident. When Becky Lynch was called up to the main roster, WWE brought in an extremely talented and determined competitor from NXT.

Lynch came to the ring with a steam punk entrance and a ton of enthusiasm. Her love of puns and banter with friends would result in a positive reaction from the fans. At one point, Becky Lynch was seen by the WWE Universe as the woman that deserves to be on top.

Despite coming close time and time again, it seemed like others were put in a position to be on top, and she was being passed by.

It wasn't until her match against Charlotte and Carmella at SummerSlam 2018, that things changed. Charlotte hit her Natural Selection finisher on Lynch and pinned her for the victory. Charlotte Flair was once again the Women's champion.

After the match, a warm embrace by the two friends turned into an all out assault from Lynch. Fans had wait for a turn from Lynch, and this was it. This had signalled the birth of The Man.
