Fresh Hint Becky Lynch Has Signed A New WWE Deal
Is Becky Lynch still with WWE?
Becky Lynch hasn’t wrestled since being defeated by Liv Morgan in a Cage Match on the May 27th episode of Raw. The Irish star officially became a free agent on June 1st after deciding to take a break from the ring.
Since beginning her break Lynch has largely remained out of the spotlight and she’s repeatedly been linked with a move to AEW. There have also been rumours she’s retired altogether.
However, the belief is that The Man will eventually return to WWE, and when she does she’s expected to become the highest-paid female performer in the world, eclipsing the deal signed by Mercedes Mone in AEW.
Becky Lynch Still Listed On WWE Roster
Despite Lynch being a free agent, it’s been reported on WrestleVotes Radio via SportsKeeda’s Backstage Pass Patreon, that she remains on the WWE roster.
“We’ve confirmed that Becky Lynch, her name appears on the roster. Still to this day, her name appears on the weekly roster that comes out with the television script each Monday and Friday. Does that mean she has signed a new deal?
Officially, we can’t say that, but what we can say is that she’s still in the mix. She’s still considered part of the team, so to speak, and we’ll see where this goes. But we do know that her name is still part of the company.”
Wrestle Votes went on to explain that Lynch being on the roster isn’t likely to be some kind of oversight.
“It’s a very intriguing thing, because I had heard about this months ago that when she took her hiatus as Triple H has called it on hiatus, her name never really came off the roster. So it was one of the things where, okay, well, did they take it? Did they forget to take it off the internal roster? Is it there for moral support because they want to see Becky Lynch in the future?
But as time went on and Becky Lynch’s name remains on the internal roster that the team gets each and every show, it was something I was checking in on and heard, yeah, it looks like she’s still there. It looks like her name’s still there.
So did she ever truly become a free agent? Is my first question. Did she ever, you know, have her contract lapse? Was there time added Was there a deal done before she took her hiatus? Like, ‘Hey, let’s get this deal done. You go take your hiatus. We’ll make it feel like you’re a free agent, and then when the time’s right, we’ll have you come back and surprise the world.’
I think that might be the case, but the fact that it remained on the roster is very, very telling to me, and very intriguing. If it’s just an oversight, I can’t believe it is of how buttoned up WWE is about all these sort of things. You see when guys get injured right away.
I know there was one. Kiana James was taken off the roster, which is reported by numerous outlets, for whatever injury she was going through. So when those things happen, they’re on top of it. So for the fact that Becky Lynch has been on that roster sheet for as long as she has, tells me that she’s in the fold and in the mix moving here.”
Becky Lynch signed with WWE back in 2013 and became one of the company’s biggest stars, helping lead the ‘women’s revolution.’ The star is a seven-time Women’s Champion on the main roster and a former Royal Rumble winner.
