Becky Lynch was written off WWE television in May 2024, losing to Liv Morgan in a cage match.
According to Lynch, she originally planned to take only three months off.
“I took what I thought was going to be three months off during the summer, when my contract came up,” Lych says of her absence. “I was like, ‘Okay, seems like a good time to take a little break, get some stuff done.’ Then other things came up – I was filming ‘Star Trek,’ and then ‘Happy Gilmore.’ There was talk [of a return] around Rumble time, but then at the last minute, I got a skin condition. The next big event was WrestleMania, so it seemed to make sense, especially if I could take Bayley out of the mix and ruin her dreams. It felt doubly brilliant," Lynch told Lauren Coates of Variety.
Lynch returned at WWE WrestleMania 41 Sunday, winning the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles with Lyra Valkyria. Lynch attacked Bayley ahead of WrestleMania 41 Saturday, taking her out of the match.
Lynch is set to challenge for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Title at WWE Backlash.
