As the WWE universe holds its breath, the future of one of its biggest stars, Becky Lynch, remains shrouded in uncertainty. The former Women’s World Champion’s current contract with the Stamford-based promotion is set to expire this weekend, and despite ongoing negotiations, a new deal has yet to be agreed upon.
The 37-year-old Irish superstar took to the ring on RAW last night, challenging Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Title in a thrilling Steel Cage Match. However, an unexpected interference from Dominik Mysterio led to Lynch’s defeat, sparking speculation about her impending departure from the company.
Fans have been left wondering if this loss marked the end of an era for The Man, who has been a cornerstone of the WWE’s women’s division. Nevertheless, a report by PWTorch has alleviated concerns, suggesting that WWE is confident of renewing Lynch’s contract. The company is reportedly planning to give her a brief hiatus before a triumphant return at a later date.
In a subtle hint at her return, Lynch took to social media following her defeat, posting a cryptic message that has left fans intrigued. While the details of her contract negotiations remain under wraps, it’s clear that both WWE and Lynch are keen on continuing their partnership.
The WWE has recently renewed contracts with several high-profile stars, including Drew McIntyre and Finn Balor. Given Lynch’s stature as one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time, it’s likely that the company will pull out all the stops to ensure her return.
However, not everyone is convinced of Lynch’s commitment to the company. Former WWE writer Vince Russo criticized her during a recent edition of Legion of RAW, accusing her of breaking kayfabe during the Steel Cage Match by chatting with Liv Morgan. Russo’s comments have sparked a debate about Lynch’s professionalism, adding fuel to the fire surrounding her contract negotiations.
As the clock ticks down on Lynch’s current deal, WWE fans are holding their collective breath, awaiting an update on her future. Will The Man ride off into the sunset, or will she return to reclaim her throne as the WWE’s top female superstar? Only time will tell.
