Becky Lynch Talks Equal Pay in Wrestling – Becky Lynch, a trailblazer in WWE’s women’s division, has been a pivotal figure in reshaping the landscape of women’s wrestling. From headlining WrestleMania to dominating both on-screen and in the media, Lynch has been a force to be reckoned with.
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, Lynch discussed advocating for equal pay in the industry, shedding light on her own experiences.
“The last contract I signed was three years ago. I was coming back after having my kid. When I left, I left on top. It’s one of those things where, sometimes in a male dominated sport, we’re historically like, ‘Thank you. Thank you for that. I don’t want to make any waves.’ It was one of those things where I was like, ‘No, I deserve this.’ There is no reason why I should not be getting paid the same as a top guy. Because of my gender? No. You can put me in any main event. You can put me in any main event and it makes sense. I’ve proved that time and time again. So, compensate me fairly, please. It is that thing of having to ask for more. ‘I’m so grateful that you’re paying me more than we used to be paid, but still I need more.’ You’re always pushing that barrier. It’s come a long way and I love to see it.”
Lynch has two months remaining on her current WWE deal.
