Rebecca Quin, better known by her pro-wrestling moniker, Becky Lynch, had to overcome a lot of adversity to be where she's at today. As a teen, growing up in Ireland, Quin struggled with alcoholism, but later found wrestling as an outlet to help save her from heading down a spiraling life of addiction. Now, she's one of the biggest female stars on the current pro-wrestling market for her hardcore persona and aggressive style of wrestling. With an arsenal of moves like the Cross Armbreaker, the Diving Leg Drop, and her patented finishers in the Bexploder and Disarm-er, there aren't a lot of wrestlers out there that can match her intensity.
In 2002, Lynch and her brother began training at a facility in her home country of Ireland and made her first professional wrestling debut just five months into training. From 2002 to 2006, Quin would wrestle in the independent market, most notably for the Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling's all-women promotion, SuperGirls Wrestling where she won the inaugural SuperGirls Championship before suffering a severe injury that would force her to take a six-year hiatus from the ring. In 2013, Lynch would sign a development deal with the WWE and be added to the brand's main roster in 2015. Since then, Lynch has become a 3x WWE Smackdown Women's Champion and 1x WWE Raw Women's Champion. Lynch is the only wrestler in history to hold both belts simultaneously. Becky Lynch also defeated Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey for both the Women's titles in the first WrestleMania main event headlined by women in the company's history.
