• WWE Superstar Becky Lynch is gearing up for a significant showdown at WrestleMania 40 as she vies for the Women’s World Championship against Rhea Ripley. However, amidst the excitement surrounding her championship match, there’s a cloud of uncertainty looming over Lynch’s future with WWE.
In an interview on The MMA Hour, Lynch revealed that she is currently in the final stretch of her WWE contract, with only two months remaining. When probed about any discussions regarding a contract renewal, Lynch disclosed, “Nobody’s said nothing to me.”
When asked about her intentions regarding a new deal, Lynch kept her options open, stating, “We’ll see.” In response to whether she sees her future exclusively with WWE, Lynch remained ambiguous, admitting, “I just don’t know.” Despite the uncertainty, she expressed skepticism about this potentially being her last WrestleMania, saying, “I doubt that.”
Confident in her abilities and value, Lynch asserted that she isn’t fazed by the dwindling time left on her contract without a new agreement in sight. This revelation has sparked speculation among fans about the possibility of Lynch exploring opportunities beyond WWE if contract negotiations falter.
