Summary
In a must-listen interview, "The Man" Becky Lynch stops by to accept her CBS Sports Wrestler of the Year award and detail her breakthrough in 2018 that saw her rise to the top of WWE as the most exciting superstar in sports entertainment. Lynch explains her mindset when she was told to cut a promo against the fans that propped her up and tells us whether she was ever actually told that her accent was holding her back. She also breaks down her invasion of Raw, her straight fire social media game, Vince McMahon's reaction to her rise, John Cena's new hair and how the women of WWE have raised their game to take opportunities rather than be handed them by management. After the interview, Brian Campbell and Adam Silverstein go through everything Lynch said and preview her road to WrestleMania 35. This is a can't miss edition of State of Combat!
