Becky Lynch is ready to enter WrestleMania 40 in April as she will challenge Rhea Ripley for another Women's Championship win which could mark the beginning of her seventh world title reign in the WWE.

It was a long journey for THE MAN to her stardom, and she was away from professional wrestling for six long years. There was a time when had to earn her bread and butter by working at an Irish pub in Manhattan, while also living above one.

Back in the summer of 2010 when WWE was slowly transitioning into the PG era, Big Time Becks was studying at college in New York City and wandering in the streets of the city having the hopes to build some connections.

Ahead of the March 26 release of her book "Becky Lynch: The Man - Not Your Average Average Girl", the top WWE Superstar spoke to The New York Post and revealed some unknown truths from her life.

"The room had a sink, twin bed and barely enough room to put a suitcase," Lynch detailed about her staycation above a bar, "There was a communal shower and toilet down the hall."

The six-time women's champion had a journey that also took her to Chicago in 2011, where she enrolled at Columbia College to pursue acting. She wanted her fate to have a take-off in this new route.

"I figured, 'Maybe I can get into the theater space somehow, maybe something will take off.' It didn't, but I did make a lot of connections, and I did make memories that last a lifetime."

Just weeks before she planned to move back to the Big Apple, Becky Lynch had to get involved in stunt work for the TV show 'Vikings'. To prepare for the role, she joined a wrestling gym owned by a friend.

It was during those training days for 'Vikings' that Lynch's path turned toward the WWE. After being around the wrestling scene, she was encouraged to try out for the global promotion with whom she signed a developmental deal in 2013.
