Becky Lynch is no longer under a WWE contract.
For the first time since 2013, Lynch is a free agent. Fightful Select has reported that the star’s deal with the company expired at midnight on June 1st. Lynch finished up her last storyline with the company on the May 27th edition of Raw when she was unable to regain the Women’s World Championship from Liv Morgan in a Steel Cage match.
According to Fightful, WWE has communicated that they want to continue working with The Man, and many of those close to the star believe she has no intention of going elsewhere despite it being expected that she will receive lucrative offers to do so.
Ahead of her contract expiring, it was reported that Becky Lynch is expected to take an “extended leave” from WWE. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the star was looking to take a long period of time off the road. Meltzer speculated that with her husband, Seth Rollins, currently being out of action and at home following knee surgery, it “makes sense” for her to take time out.
