Rebecca Quin (born 30 January 1987) is an Irish professional wrestler currently signed to WWE, where she performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Becky Lynch.
Quin began training as a professional wrestler under Fergal Devitt and Paul Tracey in June 2002, making her debut five months later. Initially working in Ireland and occasionally teaming with her brother, she soon expanded her career into the rest of Europe on the independent circuit as Rebecca Knox, wrestling regularly for the France-based Queens of Chaos promotion, where she won the World Queens of Chaos Championship in 2006. She also wrestled for England's One Pro Wrestling and Germany's German Stampede Wrestling. She competed in the SuperGirls Wrestling promotion (an offshoot of Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling), where she was the inaugural SuperGirls Champion and held the championship for ten months and two days. She also appeared at ChickFight III, where she made it to the second round of the tournament. In 2006, she debuted for the all-female Shimmer Women Athletes promotion and was involved in a series of matches with Daizee Haze, including an acclaimed two-out-of-three falls match.
In September 2006, Knox suffered a head injury during a match in Germany and was diagnosed with possible damage to her eighth cranial nerve. She was scheduled to return to wrestling in 2008, but no-showed the event, stating she no longer felt that wrestling was the right option for her at that time. She later returned to Shimmer as a manager in 2011, before signing a contract with WWE in 2013. Following her arrival on the main roster in July 2015, she became the inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion at Backlash in September 2016, holding the title for approximately three months making her the longest reigning Smackdown Women's Champion at 84 days.
