Becky Lynch is back under the WWE umbrella officially, with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reporting the seven-time world champion has re-signed with the company:
“It was confirmed that after her deal had lapsed in 2024, Becky Lynch has since agreed to a contract with WWE. She appeared at some Netflix-related events, but had told people she was just there supporting. However, she’s always planned to make a return, and both WWE and Lynch expected to do business together again.”
One report suggested she was originally intended to appear at Monday’s Raw on Netflix premiere, but Sapp said that wasn’t the case.
“Fightful Select had reported that talent did expect to see her on the show,” he said. “However, not only was she not on the show, she wasn’t at the show. She was not planned for the Raw-Netflix debut, and her appearance wasn’t cut, as was speculated.”
That certainly makes sense as the idea of WWE cutting the return of a star of that magnitude at the last second is unlikely.
Lynch has become one of the faces of the company, a legitimate main event talent who can headline television and premium live events and be believable at that spot on the card.
The 37-year-old was a leader of the women’s revolution and one of the Four Horsewomen of NXT, who helped bring women’s wrestling to the forefront of the company.
Most importantly, she won the first women’s main event in WrestleMania history, a moment that cemented her status as one of the top stars in the company.
