Rebecca Welch expressed her surprise at being inducted into the Hall of Fame, stating, '[I was] quite shocked because I never thought a ref would be inducted into the Hall of Fame from a league.' She continued by emphasizing the significance of being inducted alongside others such as Steph Houghton, saying, 'Then you find out who you are being inducted alongside, you're like, 'okay that is interesting, I am going to be onstage with three people who potentially think I am not their favourite person.' This reflects the progress of the league since its inception in 2011.'
Reflecting on her groundbreaking career, Welch stated, 'You don't think about legacies as a referee.' This underscores how her focus has primarily been on her responsibilities and contributions during matches rather than concerning herself with how history will view her impact as a pioneer in women's refereeing.'
