Becky Lynch, a stalwart in the wrestling industry, recently lost her Women’s World Championship to Liv Morgan at WWE King & Queen of the Ring. Seeking redemption, Lynch faced Morgan in a highly anticipated rematch on RAW this week but was defeated once again, leaving fans and analysts buzzing about what’s next for the renowned wrestler. With Lynch’s WWE contract set to expire imminently, the wrestling community is rife with speculation about her future.
Becky Lynch’s contract with WWE is set to expire this week, potentially making her latest appearance on RAW her last before either re-signing with WWE or exploring new opportunities. Lynch has been a pivotal figure in WWE, known for her charisma, in-ring skills, and the ability to captivate audiences worldwide. However, her recent losses and impending contract expiration have led many to wonder if she is contemplating a new chapter in her wrestling career.
On the May 27 edition of RAW, Lynch’s failure to regain the Women’s World Championship from Liv Morgan was a significant moment. The match, filled with intense action and dramatic near-falls, ended with Morgan retaining the title, leaving Lynch’s WWE future in further doubt. This defeat has intensified speculation about whether Lynch’s WWE tenure is coming to an end, and if she might be considering a move to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), WWE’s primary competitor.
The buzz around Lynch’s potential move to AEW gained traction when AEW President Tony Khan appeared on The Rich Eisen Show. Khan was asked about the possibility of signing high-profile free agents from WWE. While discussing the signings of stars like Mercedes Mone and Adam Copeland, Khan expressed his openness to signing more free agents and noted that there would likely be interest from many talents looking to join AEW.
Eisen pointed out that Khan didn’t mention any specific names, prompting speculation about his concerns regarding tampering. Khan was quick to clarify his position, emphasizing his commitment to ethical business practices. “I don’t want to try to tamper and do those things. I try to keep it classy and I really have a reputation for honesty and I really want to be a fair businessman. The wrestling business is a really cut-throat business,” Khan stated, making it clear that he avoids any actions that could be construed as contract tampering.
When Eisen specifically mentioned Becky Lynch, noting her impending free-agent status, and asked if Khan would be interested in signing her, Khan replied with a smile, “You invoked the tampering word.” While he didn’t explicitly comment on Lynch, his response left the door open to speculation.
AEW star Chris Jericho also addressed the possibility of Lynch joining AEW, adding fuel to the rumors. Jericho, known for his outspoken nature, acknowledged that Lynch would be a valuable addition to any wrestling promotion. “Becky Lynch is a huge star, and having someone of her caliber would be amazing for AEW,” he commented.
The wrestling world is now on high alert, eagerly awaiting Lynch’s next move. Whether she decides to re-sign with WWE, take a break, or venture into AEW, her decision will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the industry.
