Becky Lynch was reportedly left emotional back stage at SummerSlam earlier this month. This was the first-ever two-night SummerSlam PLE, where Becky Lynch successfully defended her Women's Intercontinental title against Lyra Valkyria in a No Count Out, No Disqualification match.
Becky Lynch was crying because...
As the win would have felt important to Becky Lynch at a big stage, but there was something else that made her shed tears when she got to the back. Lynch debuted a new entrance theme song at the SummerSlam from the rock band The Wonder years.
The Man asked the Band's frontman and her friend Dan 'Soupy' Campbell to write the new song. Campbell then used some references from Lynch's personal life in the song, making her emotional.
In a conversation with Metro UK, Campbell revealed how the Women's Intercontinental Champion was overcome with emotion after she heard the full lyrics for the very first time at SummerSlam.
"The lyrics aren’t anywhere yet, but I worked in a reference to Roux [her and Seth Rollins’ daughter] in the first verse, where there’s like a wink to Roux’s name. And then I worked in a reference to Seth in the second verse, and then the chorus references her dad [who passed away four years ago]," he said.
Campbell who was present at the PLE with his sons, disclosed that when Becky Lynch met them backstage, she was crying:
"We went backstage, and she came up to me crying, and was just like, 'It just meant so much, because the last time my dad saw me wrestle live was here at SummerSlam.' That’s what I was looking for. I wanted to make something that was really important to her," he added. [H/T: Metro]
Reportedly, Campbell and The Wonder Years given freedom to curate the entrance theme with minimal input from WWE.
