Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins recently met up with Naoto Inoki, the grandson of Japanese wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer, Antonio Inoki.

Lynch, a seven-time women’s world champion, has been on a hiatus since May 2024. Her departure followed a series of intense matches, culminating in a title loss to Liv Morgan at the King and Queen of the Ring event.

Subsequent reports indicated that her WWE contract expired on June 1, 2024, rendering her a free agent. Despite this, in January 2025, Fightful confirmed that Lynch had signed a new contract with WWE, though her return date remains TBD.

Naoto Inoki, following in his grandfather’s illustrious footsteps, has been making strides in the wrestling world as he looks to embark on his own career.

Fans are eager to see Becky Lynch back in the ring, but The Man isn’t sure just how much longer her career as a wrestler will last. While speaking on the Getting Over podcast, Becky Lynch was asked that how long she will continue in the ring, and shared that she doesn’t know what her future looks like.

“Life has surprised me in wonderful ways recently. You can make all these plans, but sometimes things don’t go the way you intended. In the long run, though, something else works out—something even better than you expected. And honestly, I feel like that’s been the story of my entire career.“

Lynch hasn’t competed for WWE since the May 27, 2024, edition of WWE Monday Night Raw, where she lost a steel cage match to then-Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan. Lynch’s contract with WWE would expire the next month, making her a free agent for the first time in over a decade.

Becky Lynch has since re-signed with WWE though the Man has yet to return on the Road to WrestleMania 41 as many had expected. With WWE’s biggest event (a show Lynch has headlined,) mere weeks away, fans are eager to see Lynch back, but she is well-aware that life may have other plans.

On his Six Feet Under podcast, WWE legend The Undertaker recently shared his thoughts on the evolution of women’s wrestling, highlighting its significant growth and impact on the industry. The WWE Hall of Famer had big praise for names like Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley, as well as storylines that have surpassed the men’s division in intensity.

Becky Lynch’s Breakout & Star Power

After her transformation into ‘The Man’ in 2018, Becky Lynch became one of the most popular women in wrestling history. As fans eagerly await the return of Lynch, The Undertaker had nothing but praise for the former WWE Women’s World Champion.

She blew up quick, super talented… she’s got the full package.”

Women’s Division Gaining Respect

WWE’s handling of women has changed dramatically throughout the Undertaker’s career, as for years, the female roster were treated as little more than eye-candy. Now, The Undertaker is pleased to see women not only be taken serious, but in some cases, are showing more intensity than their male counterparts.

“[There is] a little bit more grit than the men did... I think they kind of figured that out too and were like, ‘We got to step up our games.’”

Current Storylines & Rhea Ripley’s Role

The Undertaker’s most recent appearance for WWE came on Raw’s Netflix debut where he shared a moment with Rhea Ripley after her title victory over Liv Morgan. On the podcast, the Phenom pointed at Rhea Ripley’s feud with Liv Morgan, calling it one of WWE’s strongest rivalries, just behind The Bloodline. The Undertaker also had praise for Ripley, who’s dominance in the ring has helped her grow increasingly important in the company.

The Future of Women’s Wrestling

The future of WWE’s women’s division also looks to be in strong hands with names like Roxanne Perez, Giulia, Cora Jade, Stephanie Vaquer, Zaria, Kelani Jordan, and more tearing it up in WWE NXT. As for The Undertaker, his comments reflect the division’s transformation from an underappreciated attraction to a legitimate main-event staple.

Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins are expanding their reach in the entertainment industry. According to Deadline, the WWE couple has signed with Adventure Media for management. Lynch will continue to be represented by CAA and Brecheen Feldman Breimer Silver & Thompson.

While away from WWE, Lynch has pursued acting opportunities in Hollywood. She will appear in the first season of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, set to air on Paramount Plus. Production is scheduled to begin in August. Additionally, she has joined the cast of Happy Gilmore 2 alongside Adam Sandler.

Lynch is expected to be in town for this Saturday’s Royal Rumble event. While not officially confirmed, she is likely to compete in the Women’s Rumble match, where she has a chance to earn a title shot at WrestleMania 41 in April. Last year at WrestleMania, she fell short in her challenge against Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship.

Rollins, who headlined Raw’s Netflix premiere earlier this month, is slated to compete in the Men’s Royal Rumble match. He will face top competitors, including CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and John Cena, in his attempt to secure a spot at WrestleMania.

Beyond wrestling, Rollins has ventured into acting, appearing in several films and television projects, including:

• 2016: Sharknado: The 4th Awakens – Portrayed AstroTech Lopez.
• 2017: The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania! – Voiced Seth Rollins/Reactor Rollins.
• 2017: Armed Response – Played the role of Brett.
• 2019: Trouble – Provided the voice for Norm.
• 2020: Like a Boss – Appeared as Byron.
• 2025: Captain America: Brave New World – Cast in an undisclosed role but ultimately not featured in the film.

Despite these acting endeavors, Rollins has stated that Hollywood does not provide him the same fulfillment as wrestling. While he remains open to select opportunities, his primary passion remains inside the squared circle.

Fans can expect to see Becky Lynch back in the ring in the future as the former Women’s Champion has reportedly signed a new deal with WWE. Sources confirmed to Fightful Select that Lynch and WWE reached an agreement for her return, though this does not mean she’ll be back on TV immediately.

Lynch attended some Netflix-related events ahead of Raw’s debut on the streaming juggernaut this week, though told people she was there simply to support the company. Lynch’s husband Seth Rollins headlined the show in a loss to CM Punk.

Lynch was also featured in promotional material for the red brand’s debut on Netflix, but did not have a role on the show. It’s been reported that she was supposed to confront Rhea Ripley after the latter’s Women’s World Championship win, but that plan was nixed. Instead, The Undertaker appeared and shared a moment with Ripley in a huge endorsement of the Australian star.

Becky Lynch’s previous WWE contract expired in June 2024, though reports at the time stated that WWE officials were optimistic that she’d be back in due time. With the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble match drawing near, fans can look forward to seeing The Man come around, potentially as a surprise entrant in the 30-Woman match.

Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Becky Lynch, as her return to WWE programming and the ring doesn’t appear to be a question of if, but when.

WWE star Becky Lynch (real name Rebecca Quin) has taken on a supporting role in Happy Gilmore 2, slated for a Netflix release in 2025. According to PWInsider, Lynch will portray a golfer in a group that also features Reggie Bush.

The film will star Adam Sandler (likely reprising his role as Happy Gilmore), Christopher McDonald, Dennis Dugan, Ben Stiller, Bad Bunny, and AEW star Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF).

Lynch’s role ties into WWE’s recent partnership with Netflix, with WWE RAW set to premiere on the platform on January 6, 2025. Lynch was also present at WWE’s December event promoting this transition.

The Man has been absent from WWE programming since May 2024. While reports suggest she has entered free agency, she has not confirmed a WWE return.

Becky Lynch Featured In New Raw On Netflix Commercial

Becky Lynch has once again been included in the promotion for WWE Raw on Netflix, indicating a potential return to the company.

The Man previously attended the WWE-Netflix media event from the streaming giant’s headquarters in Los Angeles, California earlier in the month.

Netflix recently released a new trailer for the upcoming Raw debut set for January 6, 2025 featuring names such as Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Bianca Belair and Roman Reigns. The most interesting name featured in the commercial, however, was the former Women’s Champion:

• Becky Lynch Lands Role in ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ on Paramount Plus

Becky Lynch last wrestled during the May 27, 2024 episode of Monday Night Raw. She unsuccessfully challenged Liv Morgan for the Women’s World title in a steel cage match. The Irish star’s contract with the company expired on June 1. She then opted to take a break from the wrestling world instead of renewing the deal.

The former champion had been away from the limelight ever since but she has started making public appearances again in the last couple of months. With WWE looking to make a big impact upon their Netflix debut, the new commercial only adds to the speculation that Lynch will make her return at the upcoming Raw special.

Though Becky might not be the only former champion making her return at the show. Latest report suggests another out-of-action star is gearing up for her comeback to WWE TV very soon.

• Becky Lynch Reveals Why Her Daughter Hates Wrestling

Becky Lynch is set to boldly go where no WWE star has gone before, landing a role in the highly anticipated first season of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The series, which will stream on Paramount Plus, is slated to begin production in August and is expected to premiere in early 2026. Lynch shared the exciting news with fans on social media, expressing her enthusiasm for joining the iconic franchise.

“You know, when you’ve already been champion of the world, there’s really only one place to go next, and that’s to the stars,” Lynch said. “I am so excited to share with all of you that I am joining Star Trek: Starfleet Academy as part of the bridge crew. And lads, this has been the most incredible experience acting alongside just a spectacular cast and crew. I cannot wait for all of you to check it out when it comes out on Paramount+. And hey, live long and prosper.”

The series brings back several Star Trek favorites, including Mary Wiseman as Sylvia Tilly (Star Trek: Discovery), Tig Notaro as Jett Reno, and Oded Fehr as Admiral Charles Vance. According to the official description, Starfleet Academy will follow a young group of cadets navigating the challenges of becoming Starfleet officers while facing rivalries, friendships, first loves, and a new threat to the Federation.

Lynch’s role places her among the bridge crew, though details about her character remain under wraps. The show has already been renewed for a second season, underscoring Paramount’s confidence in the series.

While Lynch is expected to return to WWE television in early 2025 following her current hiatus, this marks a significant step in her acting career. Fans can look forward to seeing her in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, which promises to deliver a mix of hope, drama, and the spirit of exploration synonymous with the Star Trek universe.

Becky Lynch has revealed that her daughter finds the colorful world of wrestling to be too loud for her taste. The power couple of WWE in Lynch and Seth Rollins welcomed their first daughter Roux back in December 2020. The little one celebrated her fourth birthday just last week.

The Man, who has been taking a break from wrestling after her WWE contract expired in June, recently joined Cobra Kai actor Xolo Mariduena for a game of Magic: The Gathering. While talking about motherhood, Lynch was asked if Roux is into wrestling. The former champion revealed that she finds it to be too loud:

“No. God no. She hates it. It’s too loud for her. She’s been around wrestling since she was like a little baby, a tiny little thing. The Pyro’s always going on.

She loves playing around in the ring but she’s no interest in watching. No interest. She told me the other day that dancing makes her inside sparkle.”

She’s Just Wonderful: Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch also discussed the challenges of motherhood. She noted that as a first-time parent, she’s always wondering if what she is doing is right:

“She’s just wonderful. She’s just amazing. She’s three. I think more than anything you’re just always, as a parent just wondering if you’re doing it right but she’s fine. She’s loved. I think the most important thing is she’s loved. I think that’s the most important thing. I think that’s what gives you confidence.”

The former Women’s Champion has been stepping back into the limelight recently after her break. Just this month she made an appearance on WWE’s Netflix media event and the latest reports suggest that she’ll be back in the company soon enough.

Becky Lynch Confirms We Haven’t Seen The Last Of Her

Becky Lynch has proven herself for years in the ring, but now ‘The Man’ is taking a bold leap into the popular world of Magic The Gathering. Lynch is joining actor Xolo Maridueña (Blue Beetle, Cobra Kai) for her very first game. The game’s latest expansion, Foundations, hit retailers last month.

While Lynch is prepared to bring the fight to her first Magic The Gathering game, wrestling fans are eagerly awaiting Lynch’s return to the ring. The Man parted ways with WWE in June of this year with her most recent match to date being a steel cage defeat to Liv Morgan, thanks in part to the interference of Dominik Mysterio.

Becky Lynch Says Goodbye After WWE Raw Defeat

Becky Lynch’s WWE Return

Though Lynch has been gone, many have predicted a return for one of WWE’s most popular female stars of all time, including fellow Irish Superstar Lyra Valkyria. Earlier this month, Lynch was among those representing WWE at a Netflix event, fueling speculation that a return could come at WWE Raw’s debut on the platform next month.

Whether a return comes next month or not, Lynch’s Magic the Gathering debut, which will be part of the Deck Chair channel, will introduce the popular wrestler to fans of the iconic table-top card game. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Becky Lynch, as the former Women’s World Champion continues to make an impression outside of the ring.

Becky Lynch Is The Favorite For The 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble Match

The anticipation for the 2025 Royal Rumble is heating up, and early betting odds from Bet Online suggest that wrestling icons Becky Lynch and The Rock are the favorites to win their respective matches. The event, scheduled for February 1 in Indianapolis, is a key milestone on the road to WrestleMania, and fans are already speculating about the potential winners.

According to the latest odds at Bet Online, The Rock leads the men’s Royal Rumble predictions at +250, followed closely by CM Punk and John Cena, both at +400. On the women’s side, Becky Lynch tops the list with +200 odds, while Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley are close contenders at +275 each.

With Lynch and The Rock expected to play prominent roles in WWE’s WrestleMania season, fans are eagerly debating their chances of securing a spot in the main event.

As storylines evolve and WWE programming builds toward the Royal Rumble, these betting odds are likely to fluctuate. Wrestling enthusiasts and gamblers alike will be keeping a close eye on updates, hoping to predict who will stand tall in one of WWE’s most anticipated events of the year.

There are new indications that Becky Lynch is nearing her return to WWE. Last month, PWInsider reported that Lynch is expected to return in time for the Raw premiere on Netflix in January. This suggests that WWE and Lynch are close to finalizing—or have already finalized—a new contract.

Adding to this speculation, PWInsider.com reported today that WWE is holding a significant media event this afternoon at Netflix headquarters in Los Angeles. Lynch is among the talents expected to appear, alongside other major names like Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Liv Morgan, CM Punk, The Miz, and Bianca Belair.

The event will also feature WWE President Nick Khan, Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque, and top Netflix executives, including Bela Bajaria and Brandon Riegg.

Lynch made her first public appearance since stepping away from WWE last month, where she discussed her memoir in Los Angeles. The former WWE Women’s World Champion seems poised for a significant comeback, aligning with WWE’s push to spotlight its upcoming partnership with Netflix.

Lynch concluded her WWE commitments before her contract expired on June 1, opting not to re-sign immediately but taking time off with the expectation of a future return. On her way out, she notably helped elevate Liv Morgan by putting her over in two matches.

Becky Lynch may be a part of the most iconic quartet of women in wrestling history, but there’s a reason fans never saw a fully-fledged faction. Lynch was part of the ‘Four Horsewomen’ of WWE, a group acknowledged by WWE of consisting of four of the company’s most talented women at a time when the company was improving its handling of female talent. In addition to Lynch, the group includes Bayley, Charlotte Flair, and Sasha Banks (now AEW’s Mercedes Mone.)

Though members of the group often teamed and often feuded, fans never saw the Four Horsewomen work together as a faction. Speaking at Vulture Festival, Lynch shared that the idea was considered, but that WWE missed its window of opportunity.

“It was always something bubbling under the surface, one of those ‘break in case of emergency’ ideas. But sometimes, when you leave something for too long, it just fades.”

Lynch chalked up WWE never committing to a Four Horsewomen faction to the idea of the group never being fully established on TV, and instead only alluded to. It didn’t help that Vince McMahon was the ultimate decider at the time as to what made it to TV and was hardly on board with the group.

“I don’t think Vince ever really got it. He didn’t understand. He’d say, ‘What is this Four Horsewomen thing? They’ve never even had a match together.'”

Notable Highlights

Lynch had plenty to say during her time at Vulture Festival and discussed a variety of topics. They include:

• She and Charlotte Flair are “fine” though they’re not calling each other every night to hang out. Lynch chalked up the real-life issues that stemmed between the two on just how much love the pair once had for each other.
• Lynch was asked if Vince McMahon’s resignation from WWE and TKO Holdings affected her memoir. She said that the book was pretty-much finished when he stepped down and it would’ve been hard to edit and navigate the book without referencing her former boss.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, along with WWE Raw stars Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, attended the premiere of Moana 2 at the Lanik?honua Cultural Institute in Kapolei, Hawaii on November 21.

The reason behind so many wrestling stars at the premiere? Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson reprised his role as Maui in the film, the shapeshifting demigod who accompanies Moana on her journey.

Moana 2 is set to release in theatres on November 27, but premieres are being held in various locations. In Hawaii, Cody Rhodes attended the event with his wife Brandi and their three-year-old daughter, Liberty. You can check out the family’s photos below:

Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins were also there with their four-year-old daughter, Roux. WWE President Nick Khan was in attendance too, and so was Disney CEO Bob Iger. The Rock, who is currently filming the live-action Moana in Hawaii, was present at the screening.

The Rock in Moana

During the premiere, Johnson shared a touching moment with his mother, Ata, and showcased a traditional dance that highlighted the cultural and family themes central to the Moana films.

Moana 2 is expected to perform well at the box office, with projections for a massive $125 million to $135 million opening over the five-day Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Though the live-action Moana film is still years away (set for July 2026), a sneak peek of the live-action version of Maui, played by Johnson, was recently shown.

In related news, Cody Rhodes recently commented on The Rock’s role at WrestleMania 41, suggesting he could play a key part in the event. Meanwhile, Seth Rollins was rumored to appear in the latest trailer for Captain America: Brave New World, though he denied the speculation, saying the masked character who resembled him was not him.

Becky Lynch assures her legion of fans, they haven’t seen the last of her.

Lynch has been out of the spotlight for the past several months. Her most recent WWE television appearance occurred on the May 27 edition of Monday Night Raw, when she attempted to recapture the Women’s World Championship from Liv Morgan in a steel cage match. She came up short that night, thanks to Dirty Dom slamming the cage door in her face and allowing Morgan to eek out a victory.

As the saying goes, The Man ‘”‘ain’t going out like that.’

Becky Lynch Returning to WWE

On Sunday, Lynch appeared at the Vulture Fest in Hollywood, CA to discuss her best-selling memoir Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl. Naturally, she was asked about her future in wrestling.

“If you think I’m gonna go out with Dominik slamming a cage door in my face that’s definitely not gonna happen.”

Lynch is expected back on WWE television for the WWE Raw Netflix premiere on Monday, January 6, 2025 from Los Angeles.

Becky Lynch recently concluded her WWE commitments following the expiration of her contract on June 1. Opting not to re-sign at the time, Lynch took a break with the expectation of returning in the future. Prior to her departure, she helped elevate Liv Morgan by putting her over in two matches.

According to PWInsider, Lynch is expected to return in time for the premiere of WWE Raw on Netflix this January. This development suggests that the two sides are either close to finalizing or have already agreed to a new contract.

This weekend marks Lynch’s first public appearance since stepping away from WWE. She is scheduled to appear in Los Angeles to discuss her memoir. The promotional material for the event describes the occasion as follows:

“WWE Superstar, trailblazer, and New York Times best-selling author Rebecca Quin will join us for a conversation about her recent memoir, Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl. We’ll look back on her legendary career — from her early days grinding on the road to being in the first-ever women’s match to main event WrestleMania — and just maybe get a glimpse at what The Man has in store for us next.”

Meanwhile, WWE is planning a star-studded card for the Raw debut on Netflix, with names like John Cena expected to appear. As of now, it remains unclear what specific role Lynch will play in the event.

Recent reports suggest that WWE superstar Becky Lynch is gearing up for a return to the company, possibly linked to an upcoming partnership with a high-profile apparel brand.

Although Lynch’s WWE contract expired in June 2024, her name has frequently appeared on WWE’s backstage roster, sparking ongoing speculation about her comeback.

Sources have reportedly indicated to WrestleVotes Radio that WWE’s discussions with major athletic and fashion brands include Lynch’s involvement, which could bring new opportunities for her both in and outside the ring.

WWE’s Apparel Plans and Lynch’s Role in the Brand

According to WrestleVotes Radio, WWE is in talks with top athletic apparel brands worth billions, seeking to expand their merchandise offerings. Lynch, along with WWE icons like Stone Cold Steve Austin and Roman Reigns, has reportedly been included in these discussions as a key figure.

This collaboration could see WWE exploring crossover fashion merchandise, with Lynch at the forefront. As a fashion-forward and influential personality, Lynch represents a potentially unique bridge between wrestling and mainstream fashion, making her an ideal face for WWE’s new apparel ventures.

Potential Timeline for Becky Lynch’s Return

While WWE has not yet confirmed an official return date for Lynch, sources indicate that fans might see her back as soon as the 2025 Royal Rumble or even earlier. Co-host of WrestleVotes Radio TC noted, “Becky Lynch remains one of WWE’s most influential stars, and I think we’ll see her back sooner rather than later.”

Given her popularity and status as a former Women’s Champion, Lynch’s return could have a significant impact on WWE’s women’s division and future storylines leading into major events like WrestleMania 41.

In recent months, speculation has swirled around Becky Lynch’s WWE contract status, with various reports suggesting disputes over financial terms. However, recent insights have debunked these claims, providing clarity on Lynch’s relationship with WWE.

The Genesis of the Rumors

Earlier this year, Becky Lynch’s WWE contract was set to expire on June 1, 2024. As the date approached, rumors emerged about her contract negotiations. Jonathan Coachman, on the “Backstage Pass” podcast, claimed that Lynch was demanding over $2 million annually, which WWE allegedly declined.

Coachman stated, “Roman’s at that 15-20 million mark, and TKO doesn’t want to pay anybody. […] Then you got Cody Rhodes, who’s making 10-15 reportedly. Then Seth, who is her [Becky Lynch] better half, he’s probably in that three to seven million range. So reportedly, she was asking for over two million a year. […] They didn’t do it..[…] If they paid her, she’d be on the show. And they’re desperate for females right now.”

Debunking the Financial Dispute Claims

Contrary to these assertions, Fightful Select reported that the $2 million figure was inaccurate. Lynch never requested that amount, and if she had, WWE would have likely accepted, given that top-tier talent in both WWE and AEW often earn beyond that figure.

Current Status of Becky Lynch’s WWE Contract

As of November 2024, Becky Lynch remains on good terms with WWE. The company has allowed her the flexibility to decide when she wishes to return. Reports indicate that if Lynch had chosen to sign a new deal before her hiatus, WWE would have agreed.

The Broader Context of WWE Contract Negotiations

WWE’s approach to contract negotiations varies based on talent value, market dynamics, and individual circumstances. While top male superstars like Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes reportedly earn between $10 million and $20 million annually, female superstars’ salaries have historically been lower. However, with the women’s division gaining prominence, compensation structures are evolving.

The Future of Becky Lynch in WWE

Given the debunking of the financial dispute claims and the positive relationship between Lynch and WWE, it’s plausible that “The Man” will make a return to the ring. Fans eagerly await her comeback, anticipating the impact she’ll have on the women’s division upon her return.

Becky Lynch has been enjoying her personal life, spending time at home with her young daughter while taking a break from WWE. However, she is set to return to the spotlight for a rare public appearance next month.

Vulture Festival has announced that Lynch, appearing under her real name Rebecca Quin, will take part in an event on November 17th at 7 PM in Hollywood, CA.

According to the promotional material, the event will feature “a conversation about her recent memoir Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl. We’ll look back on her legendary career — from her early days grinding on the road to being part of the first-ever women’s match to main event WrestleMania — and just maybe get a glimpse at what The Man has in store for us next.”

WWE Exit

Earlier this year, Lynch did not renew her contract with WWE after winning the Women’s World Title. She concluded her run with the company in late May, passing the torch to Liv Morgan at the King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event, where she dropped the Women’s Title. To further elevate Morgan as the next big star on Monday Night Raw, Lynch put her over again in a steel cage match two nights later on Raw.

While Lynch is expected to return to WWE at some point, there have been no updates on her status or a specific timeline for her comeback. However, WWE continues to list her on the active talent roster.

Fans have been buzzing with speculation regarding the potential retirement of Becky Lynch from WWE and whether she really has hung up the boots.

This article aims to separate the rumors from the facts and provide a clear picture of Lynch’s current status in the WWE.

The Origin of the Rumors

Instagram Post Sparks Speculation

The retirement rumors began swirling after Becky Lynch posted a heartfelt message on Instagram.

The post, which included a photo with her daughter Roux, stated: “It’s been a helluva career. Being the Man for all of you was an honor, being the mom for her is a privilege. Thanks for watching my bio on @AETV.”

Many fans interpreted this as a possible retirement announcement, given the reflective tone of her words.

WWE’s Response

According to a report from Fightful Select, people within WWE clarified that they were not informed of any official retirement by Lynch.

They emphasized that if Lynch were to retire, it would not be through an Instagram post.

However, it is believed that Lynch is not currently under contract, which means she wouldn’t be obliged to inform the company of her retirement decision.

WWE’s Respect for Lynch

Despite the lack of official confirmation, WWE continues to hold Lynch in high regard.

The company has expressed a desire to be “respectful of her space” given her contributions over the years.

WWE has apparently also stated that Becky Lynch would always be welcomed back should she choose to return.

Current Status and Future Prospects

Contractual Status

Lynch’s contract with WWE expired at the start of June. The general belief within WWE is that Lynch is taking a break and will return when the time feels right for her.

This hiatus has led to her absence from television, further fueling retirement rumors.

Possibility of Return

There is optimism among WWE officials and fans alike that Becky Lynch will make a comeback.

The door remains open for her return, and she continues to be a beloved figure in the company and to fans.

Free agent Becky Lynch has left the fans wondering about her future in pro wrestling. ‘The Man’ has had a decorated career, having multiple accolades. The latest episode of “Biography: WWE Legends” documentary by A&E captures her illustrious career.

Taking to her social media, Becky Lynch thanked people for watching her Biography episode that premiered Sunday on A&E. She reflected on her 10-year career and said that being ‘The Man’ was an honor and being the mother to Roux is a privilege. She wrote:

“It’s been a helluva career. Being the Man for all of you was an honor, being the mom for her is a privilege. Thanks for watching my bio on @AETV.”

Fans soon started speculating that she might be hanging up her boots. However, it seems that the post was only to promote her new biography episode. WWE veteran wrestler Natalya commented: “Truly enjoyed this!!!! And the best is yet to come.“ Nattie’s comment assured fans that Lynch is not retiring anytime soon.

Becky Lynch’s contract expired on June 1. This is the first time that the 37-year-old star is a free agent since signing with WWE. Reports stated that Lynch was not extending her contract and would be taking an extended leave of absence.

Back in May, the Irish superstar dropped the Women’s World title to Liv Morgan at WWE’s King & Queen Of The Ring PLE. Lynch once again got a shot at the title on Raw but she suffered a defeat in a Steel Cage match against Morgan. This marked Lynch’s final match under her previous WWE contract. 

Becky Lynch has come a long way since joining WWE and it is expected that she could receive lucrative offers. Fightful Select reported that Lynch is expected to receive one of the biggest offers in pro wrestling history for female wrestler. It is to be seen what the future holds for Becky Lynch.

• Seth Rollins Says Wife Becky Lynch Is Doing Great

One wrestling fan’s efforts to propose to his beloved proved to be in vain after the potential bride decided to turn the proposal into an impromptu wrestling match.

On Twitter, user Lord A Drean, who describes himself as the “HOTTEST INDI WRESTLER RAPPER RIGHT NOW” shared his planned proposal. After popping the question in a mall, Drean’s partner Malicious China popped him with a Canadian Destroyer and an RKO. The pair were joined by a referee. A big boot would seal Drean’s fate and the referee would count the pinfall, leaving it uncertain if the couple actually got engaged.

Engagement or not, this attempted proposal has gone viral online. At the time of writing, the video has been viewed over 5.6 million times on Twitter and has reached 90,000 likes, in addition to 8,600 retweets and 13,000 bookmarks.

When Wrestling Goes Viral

This couple’s wrestling moves may have gone viral, but it’s hardly the first time something like this has happened. In April of this year, a gender-reveal match went viral that included Tables, Ladders, Chairs, and a nod to WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker. That same month, a video went viral showing playground wrestling in New York City which received the seal of approval from AEW talent.

In March, a WWE fan arrived at his own wedding with a Bloodline-inspired entrance, in which they served as the Roman Reigns of the group. Reigns would even react on Twitter to say that the union had been “acknowledged.” During a wedding a few years ago, the bride arrived to Becky Lynch’s music and set the tone for the ceremony with some kendo stick shots.

You can never be certain what will go viral in wrestling, but Drean and Malicious China certainly did that this week. It remains to be seen if the couple ever tie the knot, but if so, Drean should keep an eye out for an RKO (outta nowhere of course!) on their wedding day.

Seth Rollins spoke about his wife Becky Lynch during a sit-down interview with Michael Cole that aired during Saturday’s WWE Money in the Bank kickoff show.

Lynch is taking time off from WWE after her contract recently expired. She’s a free agent for the first time in many years. Wrestling fans around the world want to know if she’ll ever return to wrestling, or if we’ve seen The Man ride off into the sunset for the last time.

WWE’s senior broadcaster asked, “Becky obviously leaving WWE after losing the championship, she’s at home with your daughter, how’s she doing, how is The Man?” Rollins respectfully wouldn’t speak for his wife, but did provide a positive update on her and their daughter.

“The Man’s great. She’s great,” Rollins said of his wife. “I can’t speak to her future or what she’s got moving forward, but she’s great, she’s in good spirits. The little one’s awesome as well. She’s a menace, she runs the ship.”

Becky Lynch is currently a free agent for the first time in over a decade, when she initially signed with WWE in 2013. She has not publicly addressed her future in wrestling.

Lynch had an eventful year in WWE, participating in major events like the Royal Rumble and winning the Elimination Chamber match, which led to a WrestleMania XL title match against Rhea Ripley. Although she lost that match, she later won the vacant Women’s World Championship in April, only to lose it 33 days later at King and Queen of the Ring. Her WWE contract reportedly expired on June 1.

It’s been ten years since Becky Lynch made her WWE in-ring debut, and an unfortunate start would lay the foundations for one of the biggest stars in all of professional wrestling.

Lynch’s infamous in-ring debut on WWE programming came on the June 26, 2014, edition of WWE NXT where she faced Summer Rae. Lynch’s arrival in WWE played heavily into her Irish roots, complete with green attire and Irish jig during her entrance.

In her book The Man: Not Your Average, Average Girl, Lynch reflects on her first steps (or rather jig) on WWE TV:

“Turns out, I really do have no shame… My God was it awful. It was possibly the most shameful debut in the history of wrestling, with all due respect to the 1993 WCW debut of The Shockmaster. If mine wasn’t the all-time most humiliating debut, it was at least a contender for top three. And yet, the crowd seemed to like this silly buffoon.”

Despite her character, Lynch would win over the fans and would reach new heights after ditching her shamrock-inspired persona for a heel role with Team BAE (Best At Everything.) From there, Lynch would rise up the ranks and within a year, was moved to the main roster as part of the Women’s Revolution. The rest, as they say, is history, with Lynch becoming one of wrestling’s top stars of her time (regardless of sex) and capturing gold on Raw and SmackDown.

What’s Next for Becky Lynch?

Earlier this year, Lynch’s contract with WWE expired and she opted not to re-sign, making her a free agent for the first time in eleven years. Lynch’s final match with WWE saw her lose a steel cage match to Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, who is glad to have “retired” The Man, according to a recent tweet.

Despite Morgan’s claim, Lynch is expected to return to WWE when the time is right, according to those within the company. While there are fans who would love to see Lynch join AEW, The Man has told those in WWE she doesn’t plan on becoming All-Elite anytime soon.

Lyra Valkyria: ‘Becky Lynch Will Come Back Around When The Time Is Right’

Lyra Valkyria is confident that Becky Lynch will “come back around” following The Man’s reported exit from WWE. 

Lynch parted ways with WWE after her contract expired on June 1, ending an eleven-year run in which the Irish Superstar became one of the company’s top stars. Lynch’s final match saw her lost to WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan in a steel cage match during the May 27, episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. 

One name who had learned plenty from Lynch is Lyra Valkyria, who had been an ally of The Man ever since her call-up to the main roster. Speaking at this week’s Raw, Valkyria was asked about Lynch’s loss last week and was confident Becky will return. 

“She’s disappointed, but I know Becky. Becky is at her best when people think they have her beat. She’ll take that loss and she’ll come back around and use it to make herself better. That’s how winning is done, real winning, something Liv Morgan knows nothing about.”

When asked about moving forward without Lynch, Valkyria said her focus is now on the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. She was then attacked by IYO SKY, the woman Valkyria beat in the Queen of the Ring semi-finals. 

What’s to Come for Becky Lynch? 

Valkyria isn’t the only person who expects Lynch to return to WWE when the time is right. Sources in WWE believe The Man will come back around and sign a new deal after her break from the ring. While there are fans who would love to see Lynch join AEW, The Man has told those in WWE she doesn’t plan on becoming All-Elite anytime soon.
