WWE Superstar Becky Lynch hasn't been short of confidence since her history-making WrestleMania 35 main event win in April, and her 'conservative' parents are very happy with her brash new persona.

The 32-year-old Irish woman became Raw and SmackDown Women's Champion by defeating UFC Hall-of-Fame fighter Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in the first ever main event to feature all women.

And despite since dropping the SmackDown belt, 'The Man' insists it was the greatest moment of her career, telling Irish Mirror: "It was the best thing that I ever did.

"Brushing everybody's hair and trying to be friends with people doesn't get you anywhere, look what happened when I stood out.

"I said 'enough is enough, I'm going to slap anybody across the face who looks at me sideways,' I stand out there now and say I'm the best and take what I deserve.

"This attitude has served me well."

Sitting at ringside for her ground-breaking WrestleMania moment were Becky's parents, who she claims are not overly fond of her brash persona, but supportive of her success.

"It probably wouldn't be my mom's favourite thing in the world," the Irish star admitted. "She'd be a more conservative lady.

"But she sees how well it's worked for me, she knows that I know what I'm doing and she sees where it has gotten me and that I'm out there changing the game and she's all about that.

"My dad wouldn't have a clue, he's known that I've been mouth from the minute I could talk and he encourages it, but he wouldn't keep tabs on my social media and me being mouthy."

Lynch, whose real name is Rebecca Quin, will defend her Raw Women's Championship at SummerSlam on Sunday August 11th against Natalya Neidhart.

And it was at the big pay-per-view event last year that she finally turned on best friend Charlotte Flair in an on-screen display of her frustration over her treatment in the company.

But she has admitted that there was no such single moment behind-the-scenes that caused her to drastically change her attitude, revealing it was more a build-up of issues.

"I think it's been a gradual thing really," she said. "I think it came and went over the past few years, but I've always been fuelled by spite really!

"I think it was a build-up of things and then it all exploded at SummerSlam."
