A new report suggests that WWE and Becky Lynch have already agreed to a new contract and have a plan in place for when she will return.
Becky Lynch is a no-doubt WWE Hall-of-Famer. The man was always a respected member during the early years of her main roster run. However, when she developed “The Man” persona she took her brand and women’s wrestling in the company to new heights.
Over the last few years, she has become not just one of the biggest names in the women’s division. But one of the faces of WWE Raw. Be it as a heel or babyface, Lynch has been a featured part of the company’s TV content for some time.
However, Becky Lynch has an even bigger role as a fairly new mother. She was gone for over a year at the beginning of the decade to carry and give birth to her and Seth Rollins‘ child. That likely played a bit of a role in her latest hiatus from the company. But the major sticking point in why she has been away from wrestling is that her contract expired. And she was not in love with the offer she received.
While there has been speculation about interest from AEW, the belief is that when she wants to return to the ring it will be with WWE. And it seems that time may be near.
Becky Lynch expected to return for WWE Raw’s debut on Netflix
On Friday, PW Insider reported that “both sources within WWE and Netflix have stated that Lynch is expected to be back in the mix with the company by the time Raw premieres on Netflix.”
The outlet speculated that an upcoming appearance at NYA East this weekend and hints that she will discuss what’s planned for her immediate future could be a subtle hint that she and the company have already come to terms on a new deal. Or at the least are very close to one.
WWE Raw makes its debut on Netflix in January. There have been various reports that when Becky Lynch does sign a new deal, it will likely make her the highest-paid woman in professional wrestling.
