The crushing defeat to Liv Morgan on RAW felt like a farewell to Becky Lynch, as she emotionally walked away before the show ended. However, Lynch could be back in WWE, as a new report has revealed details about her future.
After losing the Women’s World Championship to Morgan at the King & Queen of the Ring PLE, Becky had a chance to reclaim the belt in a Steel Cage match in the main event of RAW this week.
It’s well known in wrestling circles that Lynch’s WWE contract expires on June 1st, 2024, and The Man has always been expected to extend her stay in the company. According to Xero News, Lynch will spend some time away from WWE, focusing on projects related to roles in movies and television.
Not only is Becky Lynch reportedly going to re-sign with WWE, but she is also expected to return around next year’s Royal Rumble or WrestleMania. However, as she has done in the past, The Man is apparently ready to come back earlier if WWE needs her.
As of this writing, pitches have been made for Lynch to work a program with Lyra Valkyria once she is available to compete again. In WWE’s case, changes can always happen, as there is a long way to go until WrestleMania 41 season.
Becky Lynch has a history with WWE star Lyra Valkyria. Already considered one of the greatest female stars ever, Lynch has reached a phase in her career where she is seen as a veteran who helps establish younger talent.
Lynch had a highly acclaimed run in NXT last year, during which she captured the NXT Women’s Championship before losing it to Lyra Valkyria at Halloween Havoc 2023.
Lyra Valkyria was recently called up to Monday Night RAW and was immediately booked to save Becky Lynch from an attack by Damage CTRL. Lynch was also seen having a poignant backstage chat with Lyra before her recent match against Liv Morgan.
WWE has laid the groundwork for a program between Becky Lynch and her apparent successor from Ireland, Lyra Valkyria. Their rematch could happen on a bigger stage than before, building on their established history and elevating both competitors.
