00:00 I do not regret breaking up the shield.
00:02 The business needed a shift.
00:04 And look, if you want to make an omelette, you gotta break a few eggs.
00:07 What's up GQ? I am the man, Becky Lynch.
00:13 And I am Seth freakin' Rollins and these are our 10 essentials.
00:19 The gym bag and
00:30 Protein.
00:31 It's actually my gym bag. Let's be specific here.
00:33 It's my gym bag. She doesn't really have a gym bag per se.
00:37 I don't. Well, he's the store of things. The carrier of items.
00:41 I am the carrier.
00:43 Shaker cup. Standard.
00:45 Which she just uses mine all the time.
00:47 I do.
00:48 We got jump ropes.
00:49 Gymnastic scripts so I don't shred my hands.
00:52 A spare hat in here.
00:53 Athletic tape so I don't shred my thumbs.
00:56 Look at his thumbs though.
00:57 What's wrong? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:59 Yeah, I got weird thumbs.
01:01 A little band for my hips.
01:03 I occasionally use that for the glute braces.
01:06 All sorts of stuff.
01:08 But them Irish glutes, they don't exist.
01:10 We got us a weight belt.
01:12 And this is a knee brace 'cause I got a bad knee.
01:15 More jump ropes.
01:16 And we got a backup jump rope.
01:18 I could go on and on.
01:19 This is like Hermione's bag from Harry Potter.
01:22 This stuff. This is so delicious.
01:24 It's magic.
01:25 It's so good.
01:26 I'm not convinced that it's actual protein.
01:28 It might be a gimmick.
01:29 It just tastes like a milkshake.
01:31 And I am so bad at eating
01:33 that it's just a way for me to get protein in.
01:35 I have two or three a day.
01:36 Just saying.
01:37 Wrestling attire.
01:43 Call myself the man.
01:44 I am the man.
01:45 I'm the man Becky Lynch.
01:46 This one is one of my favorite ones.
01:48 A fan made this for me.
01:50 Shout out Kimberly.
01:52 It's a little bit tattered 'cause I've worn it so much.
01:54 But it says the man and then it has the Pearl Jam stick logo
01:59 holding a title belt.
02:01 Pearl Jam is my favorite band so I love this one.
02:03 This is my favorite.
02:04 Sunglasses.
02:08 The bigger the better.
02:09 You know really only wrestlers and rock stars
02:11 can get away with wearing sunglasses indoors.
02:13 Is that true?
02:14 Wrestlers, rock stars and assholes.
02:16 I'm a big sunglass head.
02:19 You are.
02:20 I have a large obnoxious collection.
02:23 Can you see?
02:24 I can see.
02:25 You know I don't like to wear them while I'm performing.
02:28 I like to come out and wear them.
02:30 But when I have them on and I'm cutting a promo
02:32 or I'm talking to the audience I always like to take them off.
02:35 I feel like there's a disconnect if I have them on.
02:38 You don't feel like that?
02:39 No I don't feel that way.
02:40 I actually feel like this kind of comfort
02:42 when I'm behind the sunglasses in front of a crowd
02:45 and I'm in my own little space
02:46 and I don't feel as judged if you will.
02:49 That's so interesting.
02:50 There are sunglasses that I wear to the ring
02:53 and I am afraid I'm going down.
02:56 Like I can't see anything.
02:58 Because I dance a lot.
02:59 Like her entrance she just comes out, stands there, looks awesome.
03:02 I come out I'm like dancing and moving and there's fire going.
03:05 I don't want to be caught up in flames.
03:07 That's not how I want to go.
03:08 But it might happen if I can't see where I'm going
03:11 so I've got to be very careful with my sunglass selection.
03:13 This is...
03:18 This is pain.
03:19 It's pain.
03:20 Sadness.
03:21 Anguish.
03:22 Yeah it's one of the most common questions we get.
03:24 Are the chairs real?
03:25 That's very real.
03:28 That's the chair you get.
03:30 And you just swing it at 100 miles an hour and hope for the best.
03:33 I mean it makes an incredible noise
03:35 when it clacks off of somebody's back.
03:38 But it's such a simple, easy to pick up,
03:42 like obvious weapon I suppose in a way.
03:45 And for some weird reason has like ingrained itself
03:50 in professional wrestling lore.
03:52 There's something magical about it in a weird way.
03:54 But there's also so many things you can do with it.
03:57 You can get creative with it.
03:59 You can tie it up in the ropes.
04:01 You can set it up in different ways.
04:03 Like clamp down on someone's arm with it.
04:06 Or you can just swing for the fences.
04:09 I have sat on it with somebody in an arm bar for example.
04:13 You know, pulled it through, you've got leverage.
04:15 You're sitting down, you're comfortable.
04:17 They're in agony.
04:18 And for me personally, the black chair
04:21 changed the trajectory of my career.
04:23 I swatted Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose
04:26 with a black chair very similar to this nearly
04:28 almost a decade ago now at this point.
04:31 Turn on my best friends in a very devious moment.
04:34 I do not regret breaking up the shield.
04:36 If you want to make an omelet, you've got to break a few eggs.
04:38 This essential is our baby bag.
04:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:44 Because we've got a baby.
04:46 She's three.
04:47 And she comes everywhere with us, all over the world,
04:49 constantly on planes.
04:51 So we need all the things.
04:53 iPad, just as you will.
04:55 YouTube.
04:56 YouTube.
04:57 I want to watch YouTube.
04:59 My advice to parents if you're traveling
05:01 for long hours with a child, I'm not proud of it, but it works.
05:05 Had to buy on Peppa Pig.
05:07 Peppa Pig was making her go wild.
05:09 Got diapers.
05:10 Prepared a diaper rash.
05:12 We got spare socks in here.
05:14 Tights, tights, tights.
05:15 She needs a change of clothes.
05:17 Because you never know what's going to happen.
05:18 It gets bad sometimes.
05:19 I did make the error once of not having a change of clothes
05:23 and then had to run into a Spanx store
05:25 and get her the tiniest pair of underwear booty shorts
05:29 that I could find that doubled as shorts.
05:31 It worked.
05:32 It worked.
05:33 It was all there was in the airport.
05:34 These are the essentials for sure.
05:36 But for the long trips, the iPad does get the job done.
05:40 I need it all.
05:43 I'm a hairy dude.
05:44 He is a very hairy dude.
05:45 I'm a hairy dude.
05:46 Been hairy my whole life.
05:47 Got to take care of it.
05:48 So I got some beard wash that I actually found from Target here.
05:51 Scotch Porter.
05:52 And it smells-- have you smelled this one?
05:54 Ooh.
05:55 Ooh.
05:56 Yeah.
05:57 I don't think I've smelled that one before.
05:58 That's a little pumpkin spicy.
05:59 It's a hell of a smell.
06:00 When I was a young man and I decided to grow this beard at 37,
06:04 I've had this since I was like 18, so over half my life,
06:07 it wasn't anything that I considered.
06:09 Beard care wasn't really-- you know,
06:11 no teenagers are worried about beard care.
06:13 You're just like, "Yeah, I'm going to grow a beard and be a man."
06:15 But as you get older, you really realize you've got to take care of this sucker.
06:18 When did you realize this?
06:19 Late in the game.
06:20 It looks beautiful.
06:21 It's nice.
06:22 I got it freshly trimmed right now.
06:23 It looks good.
06:24 This is not for the beard.
06:25 It may look like it's for the beard.
06:27 I suppose it could double for the beard.
06:29 This is actually for the body hair.
06:30 I'm half naked on national television quite often.
06:32 And I've got to make sure that everything is where it needs to be.
06:35 You know, I've got to look good.
06:36 I'm not overly hairy.
06:37 I'm not like a bear where I've got hair in wild spots, right?
06:41 No, no, you've just got that real sexy, manly body hair.
06:44 Okay.
06:45 So I've got to keep it in check.
06:46 What would you do if I shaved my beard?
06:48 Think you'd be cool with it?
06:50 Yeah, I think so.
06:51 Oh, man.
06:52 More of your face to love.
06:53 You've got a lovely face.
06:54 Look at this face.
06:55 Look at this face.
06:56 I've asked you this about cutting my hair.
06:58 No.
07:01 Chocolate.
07:02 Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
07:04 But most importantly, Irish chocolate.
07:06 Because Americans, you do many things well.
07:09 One thing you don't do well, chocolate.
07:12 Get your act together, all right?
07:14 You need to step it up a little bit.
07:15 But this Irish chocolate, delicious.
07:18 It's just a little creamier.
07:20 It's a little milkier.
07:21 Less ingredients, less sugar.
07:23 How is it less sugar, really?
07:24 I think so.
07:25 Okay.
07:26 Yeah, how do you smuggle this in here?
07:28 I have my sources.
07:29 My mother.
07:30 You know, you're kind of glossing over the fact that you're an addict.
07:33 You haven't really brought that part up.
07:35 I want to stress, she doesn't have, like, crazy addictions to anything in life, you know?
07:40 Chocolate is the exception.
07:43 I'll open a drawer trying to find batteries.
07:46 Voila, chocolate.
07:47 I'll be looking for socks.
07:49 Oh, there's some other chocolate.
07:51 But yeah, I am a chocolate addict.
07:53 I have chocolate every single day of my life.
07:56 Multiple times a day.
07:57 Constantly burning calories.
07:59 Got to replenish it.
08:00 What better way to replenish?
08:02 A little bite, a little sweet treat, you know?
08:05 Who's the serotonin that keeps you happy?
08:07 Sure, sure.
08:08 We're going to need a towel.
08:09 Oh, God.
08:10 In the late '90s, when Gwen Stefani had no eyebrows,
08:17 then it was super cool to pluck out all your eyebrows.
08:20 So I did that because I wanted to look super cool.
08:22 And now, it's not cool to have no eyebrows anymore.
08:26 You know, I have different ones.
08:27 This one is called the goof-proof one.
08:29 Goof-proof?
08:30 Goof-proof, yeah.
08:31 You can't mess it up?
08:32 You can't mess it up.
08:33 I feel like I can mess that up.
08:34 So does Gwen Stefani have eyebrows now?
08:36 Has she ever taken responsibility for this?
08:38 She must have.
08:39 She has a lot to answer for.
08:41 And then what's all this other stuff?
08:42 So admittedly, I never cared about skin care.
08:46 I used to want to have a lot of wrinkles
08:48 because I had this teacher in college.
08:50 She had these great lines on her face.
08:52 She was so expressive.
08:53 And I was like, that's awesome.
08:54 I love that.
08:55 I want to show that I've had an expressive life.
08:57 Lots of wrinkles.
08:58 And then people online started telling me how old I looked.
09:00 And I was like, all right, maybe I'll take care of my skin.
09:03 I just had a baby, damn it.
09:05 And you know what?
09:06 I earned every one of these wrinkles.
09:09 This is my ice roller.
09:10 I don't know if it works, but apparently, it's like,
09:13 it de-puffs you in the morning and maybe shrinks pores.
09:17 I feel like there's much more pressure on you guys
09:19 to have, like, some--
09:20 like, I'm allowed to have a bunch of wrinkles
09:23 and gray hair and stuff like that, right?
09:24 Yeah.
09:25 Yeah.
09:26 You don't have the same pressure.
09:27 Exterior pressure.
09:28 I feel like we don't have--
09:29 You don't.
09:30 You don't.
09:31 There's a lot of conflict going on here.
09:32 There is.
09:33 I respect that conflict.
09:34 There is conflict.
09:35 Because we like to look good, you know?
09:36 I like to be a hot tamale from time to time.
09:38 And you are.
09:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:41 We'll start with the fanny pack.
09:42 Look.
09:43 Some people will call it a shoulder strap, a murse.
09:47 It's a fanny pack.
09:48 I don't wear it around my fanny.
09:49 I wear it across the shoulder.
09:52 I think you almost brought these back into style, I feel like.
09:54 Single-handedly.
09:55 Before you were-- you're a fashionista,
09:57 Seth freakin' Rawlins.
09:58 You were-- you were rocking the fanny pack.
10:01 In WWE, fanny packs were huge back in the '80s and '90s,
10:04 obviously.
10:05 Shout out to Michael P.S. Hayes, who's been rocking it
10:08 since at least '79.
10:10 He and I bond over the fanny packs.
10:12 The modern fanny pack, different-- different story.
10:14 I got all sorts of stuff in here.
10:16 House key, headphones.
10:18 I got multiple sets of headphones.
10:20 Wireless guys from Bose.
10:22 Then I've got the plug-ins.
10:23 Aux cord if you're on a plane.
10:25 Hair ties.
10:26 Crucial.
10:27 - Yes. - Crucial.
10:28 - Yeah, yeah. - That's for both of us.
10:29 Got the back pocket here.
10:30 So many more pockets, man.
10:32 Got a little cash, 'cause no one carries cash anymore.
10:35 Two passports.
10:36 Don't worry about why I got two.
10:37 No-- no need to stress there.
10:39 Two passports.
10:40 Got my-- my vaccine-- vaccine card here.
10:43 Why did they make them that size?
10:45 Why did they--
10:46 Still rocking my vaccine card.
10:48 And the wallet.
10:49 And then this bad boy here.
10:52 This is for lumbar support.
10:54 All you do is pop the top here,
10:56 give it a quick little--
10:58 Oh, look at that.
10:59 Put it back here.
11:01 I had one too.
11:02 Oh.
11:03 I can't tell you the difference that that makes.
11:06 Sometimes I don't even know if I could wrestle
11:08 if I didn't have this thing.
11:09 It's brutal.
11:10 I don't like them, though.
11:11 I like-- I prefer a neck pillow.
11:13 The problem is, because we have a baby,
11:16 when we fly, I don't get to sleep.
11:18 That's fair.
11:19 So I don't even bother with the neck pillow anymore.
11:21 That's fair.
11:22 My major essential.
11:26 This has been surgically attached to me
11:29 for the last few months,
11:30 almost the last few years,
11:33 because I have been writing my memoir,
11:36 my biography.
11:37 And so I take this everywhere I go,
11:39 anywhere I can get the opportunity to write.
11:41 I don't have a bunch of free time,
11:43 so whenever I can borrow or rob some time,
11:47 I will do it so I can always bust it out
11:49 nice and thin and get to writing.
11:52 I have been working on this for, gosh,
11:55 I think since 2020.
11:57 And I would stop and then start and then stop
11:59 and then start and then stop and then start.
12:01 And I realized that everything that I had written
12:03 was pure shite.
12:05 What was I actually--
12:06 This is crap.
12:07 I need to redo this.
12:09 So then in the last two, three months,
12:11 I've meticulously gone back
12:13 and rewritten the entire book
12:15 to the point that I am actually quite proud of.
12:17 And he's read it.
12:18 I did read the book.
12:19 He's one of the first people to read it.
12:21 She hesitated for a very long time
12:23 on letting me read the book.
12:24 Because it was pure shite.
12:26 It wasn't.
12:27 I read it.
12:28 You saw me.
12:29 You saw me.
12:30 Whittled it, you know, carved it, you know.
12:32 No ghostwriter, nothing like that,
12:34 all in her own words.
12:36 Didn't just add one more impressive thing
12:39 to the list of stuff that she does.
12:41 So it's a really good book.
12:42 Thanks, everybody, for watching.
12:44 This is all of our stuff.
12:46 We'll see you guys every Monday night.
12:49 (upbeat music)
