Becky Lynch contract update

Becky Lynch is set for a world title cage match on WWE Raw tonight, but by this weekend could be wrapped up in WWE.

Lynch is set for a world title rematch on tonight's WWE Raw in the main event against Liv Morgan. As of this morning, Becky Lynch and WWE had not reached terms on a new contract, though the two sides had been in contact. We have not learned if a deal is imminent, or agreed upon, outside of that there hasn't been a new deal reached. We have also not learned on if it has any bearing on tonight's match.

Lynch's current WWE contract is set to expire on June 1, at which time she'll become a free agent unless a deal is reached before then. Lynch is expected by many in the industry to get the biggest offer of any woman in pro wrestling history.

We'll continue to keep you updated, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!

Drew confirmed at wembley too, AWE!

Bobby Kendo Carter

She wouldn’t be wrestling any less in AEW than in WWE is the thing. WWE is now one show a week most weeks.

WR

70% sure she’ll be at Wembley

Stephen Bradley

Wade Keller reported that Becky said goodbyes backstage and that she is going on a "hiatus", and won't be signing with AEW "imminently".

MB

WWE sources told PWInsider that they believe they will come to terms with Lynch on a new agreement, but a few years ago, they thought they had Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks signed...

MB

It’s actually not uncommon for the AEW schedule to be harder than the WWE one now, as a lot of the roster do both dynamite and collision every week while WWE has gotten rid of a lot of the house shows.

WR

I don't think she's leaving WWE, but the husband angle in this honestly isn't much of a factor. She goes somewhere else, she'd be working one-two max days a week. That leaves plenty of time for family. Lot of people in this world don't work with their spouse.

rocksolid124

If I had not read her book I would automatically assume she was re-signing. But I have, which makes either stepping away to spend more time with the kid or signing elsewhere a lot more likely than you'd think.

Tempo1337

I agree that it would be a shock if she doesn’t resign with WWE. To play devils advocate though… IF she can make similar money on a lighter schedule working for a rival company, why wouldn’t she consider it and get more home time with her daughter?

Sam Stone

Not just for Becky but for everyone close to free agency, idk why you wouldn’t let the deal expire to see what the other side is offering. This isn’t like the NBA where your current team can offer more money on a max deal.

John Lopes

We don't know what her next move is and i'm not going to speculate. Whatever she decides to do i will support her. She is one of my top 5 female wrestlers of all time. she is great and wish her luck with whatever she dose

Kamonte Jackson

Makes sense to always have one parent home, especially with the daughters school days starting soon.

Francis

😂😂😂

Ky W

She probably has resign, but WWE (in this new ERA) is about keeping secret and close to the vest. So I highly doubt their going to let it leak that she's resigned already, and are just waiting for June 1st (or before/after) to announce she's staying.

Brian Walmer

She's probably waiting till she's a free agent so she can get an offer from AEW and use it as leverage to re-sign with WWE for more money.

Vain Valor

With the frequency they book their women, it may be once a month!

Trevor D.

Yes cause if she wrestles once or twice a week in Aew she'll never see her family.

Charles Lee Ray

Although I'd be surprised if Becky didn't resign, I won't insult other people by calling them delusional, etc if they think otherwise. None of us myself included know what she's doing or why. It's sad people can't discuss it without name calling.

dead inside failure

Find it incredibly hard to believe she’ll leave WWE, but if she does then that would be huge.

Jeffrey Hawks

Exactly. I highly doubt she ends up somewhere else.

Laquita Momon

With Seth signing a new deal with WWE recently and them having a child together, I think the chances of her signing anywhere else is astronomically low.

DTM007

Why would she leave when her husband just re-signed? People thinking she’s going anywhere else are delusional. No, she’s not winning tonight, but there’s no way the WWE lets her go anywhere else.

John Horton

She’s better than Mercedes so yes.

T Mar

UPDATE ME. DO IT I DARE YOU. I DOUBLE DOG DARE YA

Kiasyon

Lol at the end of this post 🤣

slick

What she does fits in wwe way better she is going to stay. I do not see her leaving

Girth brooks

Y’all say that about everybody and then should they go to aew, suddenly they are golden.

NicksKicks

I’m sure she’s just going to take some time off but I would be shocked if she goes elsewhere.

thaddperkins

With the contract about to expire, it would make sense for her to dip her toes in the free agency water and see just what AEW is willing to offer. Especially at a time when the AEW women's division seems to finally be gaining some traction. I think she does re-sign, but not before sees what is out there.

Lynchman

That is both completely wrong & a really stupid comment. She is objectively an all-time great women's wrestler.

Desmond McDade

Like the other wolf of wrestling, she's not f*cking going. Kidding aside, I would be more surprised if she doesn't re-sign.

Sheila Antonio

Lmaoo. She can’t wrestle. Yall just give her a pass cause she works for wwe

Girth brooks

I don’t see her leaving WWE especially after Seth signed a new long term deal & she’s made it clear in multiple interviews if she doesn’t plan on leaving. I could see Becky Lynch doing what Johnny Gargano did back in 2021 when his deal was expiring choose not to sign a new deal to spend time with your kid & then return to company later in the year

Matt Hennessy

I agree, she’s so much better than that.

NicksKicks

I’m sure Tony Khan will be keen to make an offer. Even if she isn’t really interested in leaving WWE maybe she’d be tempted by a few guest spots to come in and work Forbidden Door/Wembley against any talent of her choice?

David C

Great report! Any update on AEW is interested of signing Becky Lynch?

John Cena

She’ll get exposed

Girth brooks

I hope she just takes some time off before re-signing & hopefully returning later this year. I'm not a fan of AEW so I have no interest in seeing her go there, I hope she stays with WWE.

Desmond McDade

Should they be so lucky

Joe

I feel like she’s taking time off for some other career things or even getting her kid ready for school. She’s not someone who does “breaks” (her words) so I think she’ll re-sign once other things are in order. Hopefully back by Summerslam for my sake lol

NicksKicks

Please. Stay away from AEW.

Girth brooks

If Becky isn’t worth it, then no one is.

NicksKicks

I can’t see her going to AEW so either re-sign or taking some serious time off.

Nick O’Shea

I think she signs with WWE for a lot of money and on a favourable schedule that allows her to be with her daughter more often, but I can't rule out her going to AEW completely. They have lots of money, don't run house shows, and she'd only need to work a day a week, not necessarily every week. I'd only see it happen if WWE aren't willing to give her the terms she wants and AEW does.

MB

Becky is good. But she's not worth the biggest women's contract anymore.

Patrick Shaw

I don’t think so

Astrid Pizarro

Tears of joy when she appears in AEW

Raymond Slover

So she gonna lose

Shawn Garner

Yeah I would be shocked.

James Kruse

She's going to MLW!

James Kruse

Criminal if she misses clash again but if she makes an All In appearance same difference

Joe

Definitely keep us updated. I still think she let's her contract expire, waits for AEWs offer then takes it to WWE and then re-signs with them.

A

F**k!

Isaac Gudin

It would be AEW or WWE. She’s not gonna go to Japan full time with Seth still in WWE

Doug Robert

tbd

Fightful Select

Great report! Any update on Adam Copeland’s health from last night?

Isaac Gudin

Appreciate the updates!! Thank ya

Chris Rains

Please keep us updated

Thomas Middaugh

Summerslam 2025 UK she’ll be there

AknowledgeMe

Man, I would be freaking speechless if she showed up in another company

Kyle Pribila

Becky Lynch - probably will become a free agent but will keep her options open with WWE, AEW, NJPW

jerrbear

Keep me updated. I like it

Bruce Carlson

I’ll cry if she’s done

Astrid Pizarro

No way she leaves though right!?

JGreg999

I like the updates so thank you ☺️

Emilinab

Don't think I've ever been threatened with the promise of news but keep up the great work

Insomnia Inc

I don’t think there’s any chance she doesn’t re sign

Bamxcore

Wembley is calling your name, Becks.
