Career

Quin began training for a career in professional wrestling as a teenager, enrolling at a wrestling school in Ireland operated by Finn Balor when she was about 15. She adopted the ring name Rebecca Knox for her early in-ring work and wrestled internationally in countries including France, England, Canada and Japan.

Her early career included a serious setback in 2006 when a badly executed landing by another wrestler damaged her eighth cranial nerve. The injury caused distorted vision, headaches and a persistent ringing in her left ear and forced her to step away from in-ring competition for the rest of that year. During her recovery she pursued other work, including a stint as a flight attendant, and finished her college studies.

Quin returned to wrestling and signed with WWE, making her NXT debut on June 26, 2014. She moved to the main roster on July 13, 2015 when she began appearing on RAW. Wrestling under the name Becky Lynch, she developed a reputation for a hard-hitting style and a set of finishing maneuvers that have included Dis-arm-her and a pumphandle side slam.

Her accomplishments include a reign as SmackDown Women’s Champion and a high placement in Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s rankings, where she was listed at number four among the top 50 female wrestlers in 2016.
