On the June 5 episode of Raw, Becky Lynch became one of six women to qualify for this year’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. A match that Lynch is very familiar with having been in four prior ones including the inaugural match back in 2017.
Despite Lynch being familiar with the match, winning it has alluded her. She is a highly decorated superstar, has won in the main event of WrestleMania, and is a former Royal Rumble winner. After qualifying for this year’s match, she has a backstage exclusive with Cathy Kelley and she talks about what winning MITB would mean to her.
“I missed the last premium live event that we did in the U.K., so this will be my first premium live event in the U.K. That holds a lot of history for me. I remember when I was 15 years old and taking a plane over to London and staying there with my uncle before I went off on a one-week wrestling summer camp. I remember taking the train and imagining what life would be like as a WWE Superstar, and never really imagining that I could have gotten to where I’ve already gotten in my career, but there is one last thing that you said, and that’s winning the Money in the Bank contract. Every ladder match that I’ve been in, I’ve been the last person on that ladder, holding the briefcase. It has always been in my fingertips, but it’s always slipped away from me. So that’s haunted me. It’s the one thing that I have left to do. It’s the one thing that I can do to feel like my career has been complete. The icing on the cake there is that if Zoey Stark gets into this match, then I get to beat her up with ladders, and it’s sanctioned, and nobody can stop me, and nobody can arrest me. I said I was gonna ruin her life, and I’m gonna ruin her life.“
So far joining Lynch in the MITB match this year is Zoey Stark and Zelina Vega. Three more names are yet to be confirmed. There are two more qualifying matches this Friday on SmackDown between Bayley and Michin along with IYO SKY and Shotzi.
