Becky Lynch had an interesting Vince McMahon story to share in her latest interview with the SI Media Podcast.
The Man had a short-lived stint together with Seth Rollins on WWE TV, back in mid-2019. The run didn't last long and the real-life couple soon went their separate ways.
Lynch revealed she was worried about the angle and believed that she would be branded as nothing more than Rollins' girlfriend on WWE TV. Vince McMahon assured her that it would be the other way round.
"When Colby and I were together on-screen, which was very well received... and beforehand, I said to myself, "I'm worried that I'm just gonna be Seth Rollins' girlfriend," "Seth is Becky's boyfriend!" so that's the first thing that came to the top of my head," said Becky Lynch.
