WWE star Becky Lynch becomes a United States citizen
This is a massive few-week stretch in the life of Becky Lynch.
Lynch is heading to WrestleMania 40 to challenge Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship. Before that, Lynch’s book “The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl” will be released on March 26. Lynch was also a guest at the White House over the weekend for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration.
Another milestone was added on Monday with Lynch officially becoming a United States citizen. Michael Cole announced during Raw that Lynch had passed her citizenship test.
Lynch also addressed the news after Raw went off the air, telling the crowd that she had become an American citizen as of a few hours ago.
