Becky Lynch shared her thoughts on the backstage atmosphere following the main event of WWE WrestleMania 40 Night 1. The event was notable for The Rock’s return to the ring after an eight-year hiatus, where he teamed up with Roman Reigns to face Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes. This match, held on April 6th, marked a significant moment in WWE history, featuring a clash of top-tier talents.
Leading up to WrestleMania 40, The Rock’s return created a buzz as he appeared to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship. However, this development sidelined Cody Rhodes, who forfeited his title shot to make way for The Rock.
The decision to prioritize The Rock’s involvement sparked a backlash from fans, prompting WWE to pivot and position The Rock as the ultimate villain, enhancing The Bloodline’s dominance.
The storyline culminated in an epic tag team match where Rhodes partnered with Rollins to challenge The Bloodline. This bout marked The Rock’s first match since his iconic showdown with John Cena at WrestleMania XXIX in 2013. The match’s high stakes and star power made it a centerpiece of the event, drawing significant attention from both fans and industry insiders.
In an interview with ESPN for a feature titled “How The Rock Orchestrated a WrestleMania Comeback for the Ages,” Becky Lynch, among other wrestling legends, reflected on the significance of the event.
She revealed the emotional scene in “Gorilla Position” after the match, where the four competitors shared heartfelt hugs in front of key WWE figures like Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Paul Heyman, William Regal, and others. Lynch emphasized the sense of accomplishment felt by everyone involved.
Regarding her future, Lynch’s WWE contract expired on June 1st, 2024, and her last match was against Liv Morgan on May 27th. She left the company with a cryptic message on her social media account, “To be continued,” leaving fans speculating about her next move and potential return to WWE.
