Becky Lynch can add best-selling author to her impressive list of life accomplishments.
The WWE star’s new memoir, “Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl,” appears on this week’s New York Times Best Sellers list. It’s ranked third in the combined print and e-book nonfiction category and fourth in the hardcover nonfiction category.
“World Champion. WrestleMania main eventer. Mother. And now, a new title I’m very proud of, New York Times Best Selling Author,” Lynch (real name Rebecca Quin) wrote on Wednesday.

Surrounding its release on March 26, Lynch did a substantial media tour to promote the book. She’s also been on a book signing tour with events in seven different cities.
Gallery Books (part of Simon & Schuster) was the publisher of Lynch’s memoir. The book tells the story of Lynch’s “earliest wrestling days, her scrappy beginnings, and her meteoric rise to fame.”
At night one of WrestleMania 40 this Saturday (April 6), Lynch is challenging Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship. It’s expected that Ripley vs. Lynch will be the opening match of night one.
