Becky Lynch is currently heading towards one of the biggest matches in the history of women&#8217;s wrestling as she looks likely to main event WrestleMania next month, but the former SmackDown Women&#8217;s Champion hasn&#8217;t always been on a path to success. 



Back in 2006, Lynch suffered a head injury that derailed her wrestling career and made it so that she would only wrestle a further three times in six years before she signed a developmental deal with WWE.

Lynch recently spoke to Pro Wrestling Illustrated about what was the toughest point of her career and how she was able to overcome depression enroute to signing with WWE. 



<blockquote style="text-align:center" class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;It felt like death to me, I was Rebecca, the wrestler. And then I wasn&#8217;t the wrestler, so who the hell was Rebecca? It was my whole goal that I wanted to change the landscape of women, to just go out there and just wrestle and make people care. Then, all of a sudden, I was just lost with no goals, no ambition.&#8221;</blockquote>

<blockquote style="text-align:center" class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;I felt like I let everybody down. And I was so ashamed. I just remember pure shame, of not being able to know what I was going to do with myself, not being able to own up to the fact that I wasn&#8217;t doing it, or that I was confused about it,&#8221; she said via <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2019/03/becky-lynch-details-going-into-a-depression-following-head-651720/" target="_blank">WrestlingInc</a>. </blockquote>

<blockquote style="text-align:center" class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;I just thought that the door closed for me for life. This fear of success, but fear of failure. Fear of … I don&#8217;t know … of the future, really. And I went into a depression. But I would always write in my journal that I felt like I had unfinished business. That I should be in WWE, but I didn&#8217;t know how to get back there. I felt like I burned these bridges, but this is what I&#8217;m meant to do and how am I going to do it? It was a horrible, harrowing feeling, to not know how to get back there.&#8221;</blockquote>

<blockquote style="text-align:center" class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;Luckily, some twist of fate or divine intervention &#8211; I don&#8217;t know what you want to call it &#8211; just brought me back to what I feel is my calling, my destiny, if you believe in those kinds of things. And here we are.&#8221; </blockquote>



Lynch is now one victory away from the WrestleMania main event as Charlotte stands in her way this weekend at Fastlane, which shows how far Lynch has come in the past 13 years. 



<blockquote style="text-align:center" class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;It was my goal to main-event WrestleMania,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;That&#8217;s what I set out to do, that&#8217;s what I said I was going to do when I moved over here and got signed to NXT. I said I was going to main-event WrestleMania. I didn&#8217;t know I was going to be the first woman to do it, but it was my intention. And I feel like, of course, the two chosen ones were going to be chosen to be put in the main event of WrestleMania. But I&#8217;ve been the one that&#8217;s made it interesting.&#8221;</blockquote>
