Air hostess to WWE champ – Rebecca Quin’s rise to the top
From air hostess to champion wrestler, Dubliner Rebecca Quin has come a long way in just three years.
The 29-year-old took home the belt on Sunday night becoming the WWE Women’s Champion after a tough journey to the top.
Rebecca, better known to her wrestling fans as ‘Becky Lynch’, has been wresting for nearly 15 years after starting in a school in Bray as a teen.
At just 18, Rebecca moved to Canada to pursue her passion however injury forced her out of the ring and into the skies as she began working for Aer Lingus as an air hostess.
The Baldoyle woman worked there for over two years but made her big return in 2013 when she was signed to WWE.
Speaking after her amazing win on Sunday night, Rebecca said:
"There was so many times when I doubted myself and a lot of other people did too.
"I was told that I wasn't going to make it… but this makes all the pain worthwhile.
“I always wanted to be in the WWE and now to be women's champion… it means the world. It means the universe."
