“The Man” was admittedly a bundle of nerves during the segment, seeing as she had never shared the ring with a star of The Rock’s magnitude, and knew she couldn’t afford a misstep with the eyes of the wrestling world glued onto her. “…You are just so wracked with nerves because you’re going toe-to-toe with The Great One,” Lynch recalled. “He’s The Great One who’s got, you know, more charisma in his pinky than, I mean, him and Roux could compete maybe, yeah. But it is like a bit of a nerve-wracking experience because you want to hold your own and you have to hold your own. Because he’s giving you the torch, he is saying, ‘Here you go. Let me give you the rub, kid.'”

The segment also proved to be a teachable moment for Lynch, who revealed she picked up traits from The Rock that she continues to utilize in her interactions with the WWE Universe. 

“…Getting to work with him and being out there and feeling the energy of the crowd. And then you go, ‘That’s what I want. I want people to react to me that way.’ And that’s a very cool thing. Because you get to experience it and you go, ‘Okay, I knew I was hot. This is a different level of hot. How do I get this level of hot?'”

Lynch has continued to ascend to greater heights since October 2019, recently becoming a Grand Slam Champion by capturing the “NXT” Women’s Championship.
