#1 Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch rose to become one of the biggest stars in WWE, regardless of gender, via her persona as The Man - a super confident, super-tough character who bucks authority and puts her ambitions ahead of any sort of alliances. In real life, Lynch certainly is ambitious and hard-working. She'd never have won a Royal Rumble and gone on to win a WrestleMania main event if she hadn’t had that sort of personal drive. However, The Man identity is more of a character than who Lynch is herself.

Lynch has been open in discussing her evolution as a performer, including on her visit to Edge and Christian's podcast, in which she discussed being away from the ring for months and asking Shawn Michaels for advice. Michaels advised her to carry herself like a star when she came back, with absolute and unshakeable confidence. Lynch gathered momentum as a face, but positively caught fire when she turned heel over late summer, to the point that she shifted back to face role based on how organically popular she grew as The Man.

While Lynch's real personality may not be one hundred percent divergent from her on-screen persona, shoot interviews have revealed Lynch to be more humble and more friendly with her colleagues than her on-screen character would ever suggest.
