This Sunday, 80,000 people will converge on New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium for WrestleMania. Instead of hyping nostalgia acts and part-time performers like years past, WWE is turning the spotlight for this year’s show on a new generation of performers, led by perennial fan-favorite Becky Lynch. “The Man” herself, Becky Lynch, joined GQ’s resident wrestling nerds, Mick Rouse and Tom Philip, to weigh in on the other big matches of the night, her underdog-in-arms Kofi Kingston, and of course, how she’s going to beat Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey.

Lynch traveled a long road to this point. Over much of the past two years, she was shoehorned into a Sisyphean role, losing match after match. Despite all her accolades—first ever SmackDown Women’s Champion, a show-stealing performance at WrestleMania 32—she found herself directionless and in creative purgatory this time last year.

“There were people who I knew didn’t see any potential in me,” says Lynch. “There’s always been a part of me that knew I was capable of doing this, but I lost my confidence and I wasn’t sure how to get it back. I eventually had to learn that not everyone has my best interests at heart. If I wanted to actually make something out of myself, I had to stop caring about who liked me.”

Just last year, Lynch was relegated to the pre-show. But her shift in attitude turned heads and led to the main event of this year’s WrestleMania, where she will face off against Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair with two championship titles on the line. Lynch, now easily the most popular WWE wrestler, will make history in the first ever women’s match to headline the biggest event in professional wrestling. We asked her to talk through some of the marquee matches of this year’s WrestleMania, including her own.

The Ultimate Underdog Story

Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship

For more than a decade, Kofi Kingston has been a workhorse midcard staple. While he won tag title after tag title with his team The New Day, it never really seemed like he was destined to be in a WrestleMania world title match. That is until Mustafa Ali suffered a concussion and had to drop out of the six-way Elimination Chamber match for the title. Added at the last minute, Kofi took champion Daniel Bryan to the limit but ultimately came up short. The fans made it clear, though: They wanted to see more of him. They’ll get just that at WrestleMania.

Becky Lynch: You have no soul if you don’t love Kofi Kingston. That man is incredible, he’s amazing. First of all, he’s a fantastic in-ring worker. But apart from that, you can just tell what a wonderful human being he is. Nobody has ever seen Kofi in a bad mood. They’ve never seen him be anything but lovely to absolutely everyone. He’s a hard worker who is always making everyone laugh, and that is what comes out through the screen.

Mick Rouse: Kofi Kingston’s ascent over the span of a few short weeks to a title match at WrestleMania has been one of the most enjoyable things to watch play out on WWE programming in a very long time.

Becky: People can tell when something is genuine and they get behind that. That’s exactly what is happening here.

Mick: But as much as I would love to see Kofi walk away with championship gold, it feels like there’s more mileage to this story. I think Daniel Bryan will retain his championship, with Kofi’s moment of triumph coming later down the road. Remember, both Money in the Bank and SummerSlam are just around the corner.
