Becky Lynch Currently Set To Become A Free Agent; May 28th Live Wrestling News Round-Up

Eddie Kingston is expected to be out of action for an entire year due to a recent major injury.

PWInsider reports that Kingston is set to undergo surgery to repair tears to his ACL and meniscus which he suffered at NJPW Strong Resurgence earlier this month. While taking a brainbuster to the outside through a table, his leg collided with the ringside barricade, causing not only two tears in his knee but also a fracture in his leg as well.

Before the surgery, the former AEW Continental Champion will be undergoing physical therapy to heal the fracture in his leg. His surgery is currently set for July 8th and he has been advised that he will be recovering for at least 10 months afterwards. Therefore, his recovery timeline would place a return sometime within May 2025.

Dominik Mysterio had a not-so-PG response to his unexpected kiss with Liv Morgan!

In the main event of last night’s Raw, Liv Morgan successfully retained the Women’s World Championship against Becky Lynch thanks, once again, to some unintentional aid from Dominik Mysterio.

In the closing moments of their Steel Cage clash, Mysterio held the door open for Lynch to allow her to escape but was caught in the crossfire of a charge from Braun Strowman. This caused him to slam the door right into Lynch’s face and allowing Morgan to escape.

As she celebrated her victory, Morgan came face to face with Dominik on the entrance ramp before unexpectedly grabbing him for a kiss which The Judgement Day member did not appear to reciprocate.

His thoughts on the matter were made crystal clear when he made an explicit post to his X account shortly after the show went off the air.

Becky Lynch is just days away from becoming a free agent with the expiration of her WWE contract looming.

Fightful Select reports that Lynch’s WWE contract is set to expire this Saturday, June 1st. At the time of writing, she has yet to come to terms on a new deal with the company, though the two sides have been in contact regarding the matter.

Lynch is expected to receive the biggest contract offer of any woman in professional wrestling history. PWInsider later added that WWE sources are confident she’ll re-sign with the company but reiterated that as things stand, anything could happen.

Lynch shockingly lost the Women’s World Championship to Liv Morgan at WWE King and Queen of the Ring this past Saturday and failed to regain the title in a Steel Cage rematch in the main event of last night’s Raw.

Following the show, Lynch seemingly addressed the loss and speculation regarding her WWE future with a short, cryptic post on her X page.
