The WWE universe was left stunned after Becky Lynch’s defeat at the King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event, and her subsequent loss in a Steel Cage Match on RAW. The 37-year-old superstar’s contract with WWE is set to expire, and speculation is rife about her future in the company. With reports emerging that Lynch has not signed a new deal, fans are left wondering what’s next for The Man.
Fightful Select revealed that Lynch’s contract will expire this weekend, sparking rumors about her potential departure from WWE. While it’s unclear what the future holds for the Irish star, here are three possibilities that emerged after RAW:
Firstly, it’s possible that Becky Lynch could make the jump to All Elite Wrestling (AEW). With Tony Khan’s reputation for offering lucrative deals, it’s not hard to imagine Lynch being tempted by the opportunity to join the Jacksonville-based promotion. A move to AEW would not only provide Lynch with a fresh set of opponents but also allow her to explore new creative avenues. Mercedes Mone, a familiar foe, is already part of the AEW roster, and a rematch between the two would be a tantalizing prospect for fans.
Secondly, the current state of the WWE Championship picture could have a significant impact on Lynch’s future. With Damian Priest’s growth as a performer and his recent promo against Drew McIntyre, it’s possible that Priest could become a long-term champion. If this is the case, WWE might consider keeping the title on Priest at Clash at the Castle, paving the way for McIntyre to lose due to interference from CM Punk. This scenario could lead to a renewed rivalry between McIntyre and Punk, while cementing Priest’s credibility as a champion.
Lastly, the recent developments involving Gunther, Sheamus, and Ludwig Kaiser could have significant implications for Becky Lynch’s future. As Gunther focuses on his upcoming World Title opportunity at SummerSlam, he might be forgetting about his arch-rival, Sheamus. The Celtic Warrior’s altercation with Kaiser on RAW could lead to a confrontation between the two next week, ultimately resulting in Gunther banishing Kaiser from Imperium. This could lead to a power vacuum, which Lynch might be tempted to fill, especially if she decides to stay with WWE.
As the WWE universe waits with bated breath for Becky Lynch’s next move, one thing is certain – her future is shrouded in uncertainty. Will she remain with WWE, make the jump to AEW, or forge a new path altogether? Only time will tell.
