Becky Lynch defeated Trish Stratus in a steel match, the first match at the WWE Payback 2023 pay-per-view event earlier this month, which marked the end of their rivalry.
During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, the WWE NXT Women’s Champion shared her belief that they had the best match of the night. She said,
“Yeah, we crushed it, we stole the damn show, started it off, it was all downhill from there (Lynch said about Steel Cage match with Trish Stratus at WWE Payback). No, it wasn’t, it was actually a great, great show. But we started off hot, I think like a few chips on our shoulder. Story had been going on for a long time, maybe not getting the steam that necessarily we wanted, and being left off SummerSlam obviously. I understand why these decisions are made, but really wanted to go out there and prove it and getting that time. Getting that Steel Cage match was the perfect way to finish it. You know, match of our life. When you have a legend like Trish Stratus come on back, you want to remind the people of why this person was so great. And I think there’s no doubt after that match of the greatness.”
