For weeks now, the future of Becky Lynch in WWE has seemed to be up in the air and as the clock struck 12, her time in the company has ended…for now.
At King & Queen of the Ring, Becky Lynch lost the Women’s World Championship to Liv Morgan after Morgan received some unlikely, and seemingly unplanned, help from Dominik Mysterio.
On Raw, the two women met again in a Steel Cage match with the gold on the line and again Mysterio proved the difference maker as he was pushed into the cage door which slammed into Becky Lynch which allowed Morgan to win. After the match, Liv Morgan planted a shocking kiss on Dominik Mysterio as questions swirl about the true nature of their relationship.
All of this took place against the backdrop of Becky Lynch hurtling towards free agency and now the Irish star’s deal with WWE has ended after it expired at midnight on the 31st of May
Becky Lynch Now A Free Agent
Fightful Select has reported that no deal was struck between WWE and Lynch at the eleventh hour but WWE do expect to work with the star again and don’t expect her to sign elsewhere. Lynch is expected to be inundated with offers that are likely to be the largest contract offers made to a female wrestling star ever.
Becky Lynch is expected to be taking an extended period away from the ring. Lynch’s husband Seth Rollins recently re-signed with WWE but is out of action with a serious knee injury.
