Becky Lynch Comments on “Timeless” Toni Storm Being Her Non-WWE Dream Match Opponent

Billboard held a recent interview with WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch. One of the topics discussed included Lynch’s thoughts about “Timeless” Toni Storm from AEW being her choice for a dream match opponent outside of WWE.

“Well, I’d probably wrestle Toni Storm. I always wanted to wrestle her. I was bummed when she left and she’s doing amazing work over there at [AEW]. It’s absolutely amazing. Let’s make it a Dublin Street Fight. I do love a good street fight or maybe a Hell in a Cell. Yeah, let’s make it a Hell in a Cell.”

Lynch also gave her thoughts about all of her achievements in her wrestling career and what motivates her to still be in the ring at this point in her career.

“Right now, it’s all the purpose of a story. I think that’s the thing when you kind of accomplished everything, you come back to the bare bones. You come back to, “Why do I do this in the first place? Well, I love it. Well, OK. How can I make this better than it was when I found it? How we can lift up the next generation? Who’s gonna be the people that take over next and how we can make sure that they’re in a position to succeed. How can we tell the best stories? How can we get the audience invested? How can we get new eyes on the business? How can I make people feel the way I felt when I was a fan?”

Lynch also gave her thoughts about why her first on-screen run with Seth Rollins in WWE did not work out so well in 2019.

“The last time we didn’t know each other in our relationship setting. We just started dating. We were together like two months at that point. Then, all of a sudden, we were thrust onto TV and were trying to figure out how our dynamic as characters worked when we hadn’t even figured out how our dynamic in a relationship worked. If that wasn’t bad enough, you had the announcers every two seconds saying that we were in a real life relationship and people were just nauseated by it. We didn’t know what we were doing. We didn’t know how to interact with each other. It was tense, hard and difficult. We felt like we were doing something wrong.”

Lynch also gave her thoughts about why her on-screen pairing with her husband Rollins worked out better in 2025.

“Now, we’ve been married for nearly five years, have a daughter together and know each other [more]. We’re very comfortable where we’re settled into our relationship and dynamic. To be able to bring that to the screen with characters that are just larger than life and mesh together quite well [is great]. “Big Time Becks” and Seth Freakin Rollins are a bit much [laughs]. Together, it works out perfectly.”
