WWE Superstar Becky Lynch says is looking forward to her first visit to 海角直播 and hopes to inspire the next generation of women in the Kingdom.

The RAW women鈥檚 champion will be in action at Crown Jewel in Riyadh on Thursday, Oct. 21, when she will put her title on the line in a Triple Threat match against Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair.

鈥淭his will be my first trip to 海角直播, but I have only heard great things about the country from the guys who have already been over,鈥 she said.

鈥淓veryone is so nice when the guys go over, and the people there are so grateful and appreciative of us going there and performing, so I can鈥檛 wait to be there and see all this for myself.鈥

Lynch said that she is looking forward to connecting with women at the show, and hopes to deliver a positive message to those seeking inspiration.

鈥淏eing able to inspire people is the most important thing; that鈥檚 why we do this,鈥 she said. 鈥淲e are seeing a whole new generation, and hopefully are showing them what is possible and what can be done. It is hugely important for us to go over there and steal the show.鈥

Lynch is a former simultaneous holder of both RAW and SmackDown women鈥檚 titles, and is known for forging her own path in WWE.

The Ireland-born star believes 鈥渨e should all trust our intuition a little more in life,鈥 adding: 鈥淚 think it is all about being true to yourself and trusting your gut.鈥

She said: 鈥淎s women, and as people, we often don鈥檛 trust ourselves enough and I don鈥檛 know where that comes from. As you grow up, we are always told to be careful, and don鈥檛 do this or that, but I do think you have an inner voice that never serves you wrong. I don鈥檛 recall ever thinking in my life that I wish I didn鈥檛 trust my gut. Once we follow our intuition is always brings us to good places.鈥

Nicknamed 鈥淭he Man,鈥 Lynch returned to WWE at SummerSlam in August following the birth of her first child, and is aware of her position as a role model, and how her actions can influence so many.

鈥淥ne thing I find I look at differently now is social media and how that affects people, and young people, in particular,鈥 she said.

鈥淵ou may have noticed but I don鈥檛 really post as much any more, and it very much around the narrative of how we empower woman to use our voices in an appropriate way, especially when there is so much noise all the time. I think I am very much still trying to figure all that out, but I think anything I do has that much more weight to it now I am a mom.鈥

The champion is ready to put on a show alongside Banks and Belair for the Riyadh crowd, and expects to leave with her title intact.

鈥淧eople can expect me to walk out there still the Smackdown women鈥檚 champion,鈥 she said. 鈥淏ut in addition to that they can expect a barnstormer of a match. Any time you get myself, Sasha Banks, and Bianca Belair, three of the best in the industry regardless of gender, you know you are going to be watching something very special, and there is no doubt that match will steal the show.鈥

Lynch will take on Banks and Belair for the RAW women鈥檚 championship at Crown Jewel at the Mohammed Abdo Arena 鈥 Boulevard in Riyadh on Thursday, Oct. 21. Tickets available from ticketmx.com starting at SR50 ($13.30).
