The latest buzz in professional wrestling revolves around the current status and future prospects of Becky Lynch. Recent backstage reports shed light on Lynch’s contract situation and upcoming plans. At WrestleMania XL, Lynch faced off against Rhea Ripley, who had to relinquish her Women’s World Championship due to injury. The event saw Seth Rollins losing his title as well, leading to speculations about both superstars taking some time off. Reports from the Wrestling Observer hinted at Lynch’s extended absence from the ring as she plans to spend time off with her husband.
In early 2023, news surfaced about Lynch and Rollins having contracts set to expire later in the year, specifically in June. Despite the buzz, Lynch had not confirmed her re-signing with World Wrestling Entertainment by late March. Recent insights from PWInsider highlighted WWE officials prioritizing the completion of Lynch’s new contract before the current one lapses.

While a WWE insider suggested Lynch has roughly eight weeks left on her existing deal, the exact timeframe remains uncertain. The contract negotiations coincide with significant internal changes within WWE and ongoing developments like the Drew McIntyre saga.
Amidst contract talks and potential time off, Lynch has been basking in the success of her recent book release. Following WrestleMania XL, where she faced Ripley, Lynch has been notably absent from TV appearances. However, she recently took to social media to playfully address rumors about her hiatus, particularly in response to WWE’s European tour advertisement. Lynch’s upcoming match against Piper Niven on the tour has sparked interest, especially given their past encounters where Lynch emerged victorious. Despite the speculations swirling around her future, Lynch’s presence continues to charm fans and insiders alike in WWE.
