Maintaining friendships in the WWE can often be a challenging task. Becky Lynch recently opened up about the same and named some of the colleagues she shares a great rapport within WWE.

Becky Lynch, along with other members of the Four Horsewomen, reshaped women's wrestling in the modern era and will always be credited for leading the charge in the Women's Evolution in WWE.

Lynch, however, had an infamous falling out with Charlotte Flair as their issues even played out on WWE TV. As they were competing for the same top spot, Becky Lynch could imagine problems arising even between long-time friends.

During a recent chat at the Vulture Festival, Becky Lynch was asked about whether every friendship was as tricky in wrestling. Lynch argued it wasn't always similar as she has been great friends with Kevin Owens and Rami Sebei, aka Sami Zayn:

"Not always. No, I have some great friends. I suppose I’ve had that friendship with Kevin Owens and Rami Sebei, but we were never competing for the same spot."

Amongst her peers, Becky Lynch admitted to having a close backstage relationship with Natalya as they've known each other for a long time.

Lynch continued:

"But Natalya I’ve known since I was 18 and we were on my first tour of Japan together. We text all the time, and I was talking to her earlier."

Former WWE champion Becky Lynch breaks down the art of being a heel or babyface in wrestling

She's seemingly excelled equally well in both roles but Becky Lynch as a babyface has arguably outshined her villainous side.

Becky Lynch spoke about what made an effective heel and babyface and stated that fans generally tend to like 'cool' villains over traditional babyfaces, whose primary job is to get the viewers to cheer for them.

Lynch claimed that being a heel provided talents with more freedom to do things on TV and that enabled them to also be more entertaining to the crowd. As far as a babyface is concerned, Becky laid out the values that were must-haves:

"We like a**holes. But more than that, there’s so much freedom when you’re a bad guy, when you don’t care what anybody thinks. You’re free to be a lot more entertaining. It’s a lot easier to be a likable heel than a likable babyface who’s just fighting valiantly and always doing the right thing. What is a likable baby face? Somebody who’s vulnerable, honest, and genuine, somebody that you want to go for a pint with."

Becky Lynch has not wrestled inside a WWE ring for months but with Royal Rumble just around the corner, coupled with RAW's big move to Netflix, her return should not be ruled out for the near future.
