Becky Lynch shared a heartbreaking moment when her young daughter struggled to understand the negative reactions during wrestling storylines, highlighting the unique challenges WWE parents face.
“Every now and again she’ll ask, ‘Why were they saying mama sucks?'” Lynch revealed during the interview, describing how their daughter processes seeing her mother portrayed as a villain on television.
The conversation touched on the broader challenges of raising children in the public eye while maintaining demanding performance schedules. Both Rollins and host Bert Kreischer discussed the sacrifices required in high-pressure entertainment careers.
“Yeah, I’m going to miss softball games. And I’m going to miss softball practice. And I probably may never be at a softball practice,” Kreischer said. “I’m going to miss all this [stuff] but I’m not doing it just for me. I’m doing it for the greater good of what we’re doing.”
Rollins echoed this sentiment, explaining his own evolution as a parent and performer.
“For the first time in my life, I realized that there was actually something that was more important than what the [heck] I needed,” he said. “There was actually something more important than just me achieving some dream.”
The WWE couple has managed to maintain their family life while both remain top stars, though Rollins acknowledged the toll of constant criticism. Lynch discussed how audiences can sense authenticity in wrestling performances.
“They just sense that reality and they appreciate that part of it,” Lynch said about fans recognizing genuine emotion. “It doesn’t matter how good of an actor or actress you are in our business. They just sense that and that attachment to it.”
During the same interview, Rollins opened up about Lynch being “the right partner” and how social media toxicity affected their relationship in their early days together.
Rollins is currently recovering from an arm injury with an expected return around WrestleMania season, giving him additional time at home with his family.
