July 17, 2026 - 03:03

Former WWE Women's Champion Becky Lynch recently opened up about how Stephanie McMahon influenced the way she raises her daughter. Lynch, who gave birth to her daughter Roux in December 2020, chose a path that many professional wrestlers avoid. Instead of taking a long break from the road, she brought her child along with her.

In a recent interview, Lynch explained that seeing Stephanie McMahon balance motherhood with a high-profile role in WWE gave her the confidence to do the same. McMahon, who serves as a key executive for the company, has often spoken about raising her own children while working demanding schedules. Lynch said that example helped her realize she did not have to choose between being a mother and being a performer.

Lynch has been open about the challenges of parenting on the road. She has described the logistical hurdles of traveling with a toddler while maintaining a rigorous training and travel schedule. But she also emphasized that having her daughter nearby keeps her grounded and motivated.

The decision to keep Roux close has allowed Lynch to stay active in WWE without missing key moments in her child's early years. She credited McMahon for normalizing that kind of lifestyle within the wrestling industry.
