In April 2013, Lynch signed a two-year developmental deal with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and moved to Florida to report to their developmental territory NXT. Her new ring name was revealed as Becky Lynch on 29 August. On the 26 June 2014 episode of NXT, Lynch made her televised in-ring debut, defeating Summer Rae. Lynch teamed up with Bayley next week, in a losing effort to the BFFs: Beautiful Fierce Females (NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte and Sasha Banks) in a tag team match.

Lynch spent the next few months competing in non-title matches against Charlotte, whre she lost three in a row. After being told to make herself relevant, on the 23 October episode of NXT,, Lynch aligned herself with Banks by attacking Bayley, turning heel. Known as Team B.A.E. (Best at Everything), in February 2015, the alliance started to disintegrate when Banks cost Lynch a match against Bayley.

Becky Lynch participated at NXT TakeOver: Rival, in a fatal four-way match for the NXT Women’s Championship, which was won by Banks. Lynch defeated Bayley in April and Charlotte in a triple threat match to earn a title match against Sasha, which she lost at NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable. During the match, Lynch debuted a new look resembling Magic: The Gathering character Chandra Nalaar. The match received widespread critical acclaim, with both performers praiseed.

Becky Lynch Women’s Revolution (2015–2016)

On the 13 July episode of Raw, Lynch made her official main roster debut as a fan favorite, along with Charlotte and Sasha Banks, after Stephanie McMahon called for a “revolution” in the WWE Divas division. Lynch and Charlotte alleid with Paige, who was feuding with Team Bella (Alicia Fox and The Bella Twins), while Banks allied with Naomi and Tamina, leading to a brawl between the three teams.

The trio of Paige, Lynch and Charlotte, originally dubbed Submission Sorority, was renamed to Team PCB (after the initials of each wrestler) when it was found out the original name was the same as an adult web page. On the 20 July episode of Raw, Lynch made her in-ring debut, teaming with Paige in a losing effort against Sasha Banks and Naomi. On the 28 July episode of Main Event she earned her first singles victory over Brie Bella. The three teams ultimately faced off at SummerSlam in a three-team elimination match, in which Lynch pinned Brie Bella to win the match for PCB.

All members of PCB competed in the first ever “Divas Beat the Clock challenge” on the 31 August episode of Raw, to determine the number one contender for the Divas Championship. Charlotte won the match and went on to claim the title from Nikki Bella at Night of Champions on 20 September. Paige turned on her partners during Charlotte’s celebration the following night on Raw, claiming that Charlotte was only there because of her father Ric Flair (since he was a former wrestler in WWE) and called Lynch the “least relevant” member of the group.

Paige tried to reconcile with Lynch and Charlotte throughout October only to attack them, officially disbanding Team PCB in the process. Lynch was pinned by Paige in a fatal four-way to earn a title match for Charlotte’s Divas Championship on the 2 November episode of Raw. Lynch gained revenge by defeating Paige, the following week on Raw.

Charlotte started displaying villainous traits after she feigned a leg injury to defeat Lynch on the 30 November episode of Raw, followed by a distraction provided by her father. Throughout December, the two’s friendship continued to strain and after Lynch defeated Charlotte on the 4 January 2016 episode of Raw, Charlotte attacked her and solidified her heel turn. Three days later on SmackDown Lynch faced Charlotte for the Divas Championship and at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event, but lost both matches after interference from Ric Flair.

Becky Lynch began teaming with Banks throughout February, against Naomi and Tamina. Their feud continued until Lynch and Banks came victorious in a tag team match at Fastlane. A number one contender’s match for the Divas Championship between Lynch and Banks ended in a double pin (both wrestlers pinning each other simultaneously) the following night on Raw. A rematch on the following SmackDown, Diva’s Champion Charlotte attacked both contestants ending in a no contest.

As a result, Charlotte was scheduled to defend her title in a triple threat against both wrestlers at WrestleMania 32. Lynch was unsuccessful at the event, in capturing the newly-created WWE Women’s Championship (which replaced the Diva’s Championship). In June, at Money in the Bank, Lynch teamed up with Natalya to face Dana Brooke and Charlotte in a losing effort. Natalya turned on Lynch after their match and attacked her.The two began feuding for a month until Lynch lost to Natalya at Battleground.

After being the first woman drafted to the SmackDown brand during the 2016 WWE draft, she defeated Natalya in her first match as part of the brand. At SummerSlam, Lynch teamed up with Naomi and Carmella in a six–woman tag team match in a losing effort against Alexa Bliss, Natalya and Nikki Bella.
Lynch won a six–pack elimination challenge on 11 September, at Backlash, last eliminating Carmella, to become the inaugural SmackDown Women’s Champion.

Lynch’s first title defence against Alexa Bliss was scheduled for No Mercy but due to a legit out–of–ring injury the match was postponed to the 8 November episode of SmackDown; Lynch successfully defended the title by submission. Lynch was the last woman from Team SmackDown to be eliminated during the 5-0n-5 Survivor Series elimination match against Team Raw, at the Survivor Series event. Lynch lost the SmackDown Women’s Championship to Bliss at the TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view in December, in a tables match, ending her reign at 84 days.

Two weeks later on SmackDown, she masked herself as La Luchadora and defeated Bliss in a non-title match. On the 17 January 2017 episode of SmackDown, Lynch received her championship rematch , in a steel cage match but lost after interference from another La Luchadora (later revealed as the returning Mickie James). Lynch again failed to capture the championship on the 21 February episode of Smackdown. In April, Lynch participated in a six–pack challenge for the title at WrestleMania 33 which was ultimately won by Naomi.

Becky Lynch aligned with Naomi and Charlotte Flair in May, against The Welcoming Committee (Natalya, Carmella and Tamina). The two teams faced off in a six–woman tag team match at Backlash; the Welcoming Committee was victorious when Lynch submitted to Natalya’s sharpshooter. Shortly after, Becky Lynch competed at Money in the Bank, as part of the first women’s money in the bank ladder match, which was won by Carmella.

Lynch won a fatal five–way match against Flair in October, Naomi, Tamina and Carmella to become the Team SmackDown’s captain for Survivor Series. Lynch was the first competitor eliminated and her team was on the losing side at the event. Lynch again aligned with Flair and Naomi to feud with the debuting Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan) throughout the rest of the year.

At the Royal Rumble in January 2018, Lynch participated in the first women’s Royal Rumble match, entering at number 2 and lasting over 30 minutes before being eliminated by Ruby Riott. Lynch also participated in the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34 a few months later, but was eliminated from the match by James. Lynch qualified for the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match in May, which was ultimately won by Bliss.

Becky Lynch The Man (2018–present)

Following the Money in the Bank event, Lynch began a winning streak, defeating different competitors such as Billie Kay, Peyton Royce, Sonya Deville, Mandy Rose and SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella in a non–title match. Lynch’s win earned her a title match, at SummerSlam. Charlotte Flair was added to the match later on, after defeating Carmella in a non–title match as well and went on to win the title by pinning Lynch. After the match, Lynch attacked Flair, turning heel for the first time in the main roster.

Becky Lynch berated the crowd two days later on SmackDown, claiming that they weren’t really supporting her the whole time, and that she was being denied opportunities which were always handed to Flair. Audiences increasingly supported Lynch, despite this, leading WWE to tweak the storyline and portray both Lynch and Flair as both having valid points, but neither being outright heels. The feud between the two led to a title match at Hell in a Cell, in which Lynch won the SmackDown Women’s Championship for a second time.

Lynch retained her title in October against Flair in two different matches both at Super Show-Down and on an episode of SmackDown by disqualification loss and a double count–out, respectively. As a result, a last woman standing match between the two was scheduled for Evolution, where she emerged victorious after powerbombing Flair from the top turnbuckle through a table. Around this time, Lynch started using the nickname “The Man”, claiming to be the top wrestler of the company.

As part of a competition between the Raw and Smackdown brands at Survivor Series, she was scheduled for an interbrand champion vs. champion match against Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey. She led an invasion on the 12 November episode of Raw; during that angle, Lynch suffered a legit concussion and broken nose following a stiff punch from Nia Jax.

Lynch was pulled from the Survivor Series match due to the injury and named Flair as her replacement on the following night’s episode of SmackDown. After her return, she defended her title in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against both Flair and Asuka at the TLC pay–per–view, where Asuka won the title after Rousey interfered and pushed both Lynch and Flair off a ladder, ending her reign at 91 days. At the Royal Rumble event on 27 January 2019, Lynch was unsuccessful in regaining the title from Asuka. Later that night, after Lana was unable to compete, Lynch took over her number 28 spot in the women’s Royal Rumble match, which she would go on to win with lastly eliminating Charlotte Flair.
