Fans eager for Becky Lynch’s WWE return may not have to wait long. Despite her contract expiring on June 1, Lynch’s name remains on WWE’s talent roster, and new backstage information hints that she could be back sooner than expected. WWE has reportedly been in talks with major athletic apparel brands, who specifically requested Lynch’s name for potential merchandise partnerships—a strong signal that she is likely to make her return in early 2025.
Becky Lynch’s Contract Status and Leave of Absence
After fulfilling her WWE commitments in early June, Lynch took a break rather than immediately re-signing with the company. While she’s on a leave of absence, sources indicate WWE has not removed her from the official talent roster, keeping her return a possibility. This move appears strategic, as WWE may be leveraging Lynch’s popularity for upcoming shows like Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, giving fans reason to expect her comeback in a high-profile capacity.
Apparel Partnership News Hints at Lynch’s Return
WWE has been in extensive discussions with well-known athletic apparel retailers, aiming to extend its merchandise reach. According to WrestleVotes Radio, these brands asked WWE specifically about Lynch, alongside stars like Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. WWE approved these names for potential brand use, further hinting that Lynch’s return is anticipated by both WWE and its merchandising partners.
One insider remarked that these talks with major brands, potentially including outlets that appeal to female wrestling fans, emphasize Lynch’s draw power, making her return seem imminent.
WrestleVotes Radio Confirms Talks of Lynch’s Return
During the recent episode of WrestleVotes Radio (h/t: PWmania), hosts Joey Votes and TC shared their belief that Lynch’s return is imminent, possibly as early as Royal Rumble. TC even suggested that Lynch is actively training for her comeback. Given her lasting popularity and her inclusion in WWE’s merchandising discussions, her return would undoubtedly generate excitement across the WWE Universe.
With WWE eyeing new merchandising opportunities, Becky Lynch’s name stands out as a likely addition to the roster sooner rather than later. As 2025’s biggest events approach, Lynch’s return could happen as early as Royal Rumble, reigniting her influence in WWE’s women’s division. Fans will have to keep watching for more updates, but it seems Lynch’s time away from the ring could be coming to an end.
