However, because she's Irish, WWE have saw fit to thrust a sterotypical Hornswaggle-esque gimmick upon her in her NXT debut.
I usually like wacky gimmicks but this is one I could do without seeing if she's ever called up to the main roster.
WWE seem to like Stereotypes...Off the top of my head
Hornswoggle: Finlays Leprechaun
Wrestlers from Eastern Europe: Always characterised as Soviet Sympathisers, look at Rusev and Lana today, Russian Sympathisers and there not even Russian...He is Bulgarian and she is from Florida
Who remembers Mohamed Hassan, played a shadowy terrorist type with Daivari managing him, at a time when 9/11 was still fresh in our minds...
Talking about wacky gimmicks...Look no further than the Gobbledygooker and Doink the Clown, 2 of the most absurd gimmicks ever, one of those gimmicks that should not work but somehow does, absurd enough to the point of being so stupid that it becomes funny
BTW...Becky Lynch is quite fit...But I don't think much of her Riverdance impression
