Becky Lynch reveals why she prefers the heel persona
Becky Lynch has been often cheered by the fans in attendance for her heroics but recently her attitude has changed and she has become more of a cocky champion.
Becky Lynch recently talked to the Sports Illustrated Media podcast. She discussed the differences between working as a fan favorite(babyface) versus being a heel. ‘Big Time Becks’ said that she enjoys the freedom from self-consciousness that comes with being a villain:
“I really like wrestling as a heel. I can do that really well because I’ll bump around like a crazy person and I’m not scared to look like an idiot. When it comes to my promo process, a lot of the time, being a babyface is better because I know what I feel strongly about and ‘this is the truth and what I feel is right.’
When you’re a heel, you also have to tell the truth, but in a different way. Everyone is the hero of their own story. It’s all just a process and I’m enjoying the ride and figuring out the new role and trying to be great at it,” added Lynch.
