The arrival of Becky Lynch in NXT was met with hype but quickly went downhill. She did an Irish dance down to the ring and it felt like it played on every stereotype relating to Irish people. It was met with heavy criticism. Thankfully, she developed her own persona away from it and shined.
However, her time in NXT was relatively short. As soon as Becky really got momentum, she was called up to the main roster. She struggled there at first too but eventually became the first Smackdown Women's Champion. A few years later, she went on to become "The Man" who took over the industry. Along the way, she always delivered good matches.
