Becky Lynch’s WWE contract expired earlier this month, making her a free agent. The Man has seemingly decided to take a break from professional wrestling for now. In a recent interview, her former rival, Bianca Belair, expressed kind words for the former RAW Women’s Champion.
Lynch’s last in-ring appearance was against Liv Morgan in a Steel Cage match for the Women’s World Championship on the May 27 edition of Monday Night RAW. Morgan had defeated Lynch for the title at King and Queen of the Ring, following interference from Dominik Mysterio. The Judgment Day member once again inadvertently helped Morgan secure the win.
In a recent interview with Denise Salcedo, Bianca Belair was asked about her thoughts on Becky Lynch’s current situation. The EST expressed her support for the Women’s Grand Slam Champion in whatever she chose to do. She also mentioned how her former rival helped her grow.
“I’m just super supportive of Becky, of whatever space she’s in right now, what she wants to do. Everyone knows how pivotal Becky was for my career. Not just inside the ring, outside the ring. She’s someone that I’ve always been able to go to and lean on, just for advice and as a friend. I would call Becky my friend,” she said.
Bianca Belair further praised Becky Lynch, reflecting on her impact on the WWE’s women’s division:
“She’s someone who has stood up for me, who has led me, who has taught me. We see everything that Becky has done for this division and for the women’s division. Being one of the Four Horsewomen, being one of the women that has main-evented WrestleMania.” [H/T -WrestleZone]
