Becky Lynch is heading into this year’s WrestleMania to face AJ Lee for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Ahead of her upcoming match, Lynch talked with Dan Soder and became very open about how talent are not catered to in WWE.
Although pay over the years has certainly increased and the top talents get the bigger paychecks, most are still self sufficient.
“I mean this politely, we’re not catered to. At all. Maybe there are a couple of folks…as you get more into it, you put up with less shit, but we pay for our own gear. They’re not getting us gear. We buy our own gear. We buy our own rental cars and our own hotels. We are in charge of booking those hotels and booking those rental cars. I think that’s why, actually, when we go to work at other places, whether it be ‘Billions’ or wherever, people are pleasantly surprised at how easy going we are because we’re not used to being catered to. We don’t expect anything. We don’t expect anybody to look after us. We are standardly so self-sufficient,” she said. (Fightful/Transcript)
Lynch guest starred on the season five premiere of “Billions” in May 2020.
