Becky Lynch Hints at Future WWE Return Amid WrestleMania Buzz

LAS VEGAS, April 12, 2025 — Becky Lynch, a prominent figure in WWE, hinted at her potential return during an appearance at the Ultimate Improv Show on Friday night. While discussing her wrestling career, Lynch stated, “It’s WrestleMania season, isn’t it? I’m not wrestling anymore. Maybe one day, but not right now. But my husband is.”

Lynch has been absent from the WWE ring for nearly a year, with her last match occurring on May 27, 2024. She faced Liv Morgan in a Women’s World Championship steel cage match, which she lost. Following that bout, reports indicated that Lynch’s WWE contract expired on June 1, rendering her a free agent. However, in January, it was reported that she had signed a new deal with WWE. Further claims in February noted that Lynch had yet to receive a clear plan for her return to the ring.

As the company gears up for WrestleMania 41, speculation has arisen regarding Lynch’s potential surprise appearance. The event, scheduled for next weekend, has yet to provide a defined spot for her. This has led many to wonder if WWE’s decision-makers are contemplating a return for the popular star, perhaps during the event or shortly after.

“Regardless of what the plan is for the Irish Superstar, it will be a huge deal when she returns,” said an industry insider. Lynch’s accolades include being a seven-time women’s champion, a one-time WWE women’s tag team champion, and the winner of the Royal Rumble. Her popularity and connection with fans place her among the most revered women in WWE history.

The excitement surrounding Lynch’s potential return is palpable, especially as WrestleMania 41 approaches. If Lynch does rejoin the WWE roster, it could provide a substantial boost to the post-WrestleMania programming.

Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair is set to battle Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 41. Tensions between the two escalated during an April 4 episode of SmackDown, when a heated promo turned personal. This confrontation significantly increased interest in their match, which was initially viewed as a less significant pairing.

WWE reports that the plan for the Flair-Stratton match was established before Flair returned to the ring. Despite controversy over their unscripted exchanges, the incident revitalized interest in their championship clash, which will be one of the featured matches of the weekend.

Across the roster, Gunther is also preparing for his match against Jey Uso, scheduled to take place at WrestleMania. Gunther commented on the placement of his match, revealing he is unbothered by not main eventing the event. “At the end of the day, they’re big achievements,” he said. “But that’s nothing I want to stress about.”

With all this excitement brewing, WWE’s upcoming programs are set to leverage the star power of Lynch and the heightened rivalries leading into WrestleMania 41. As fans await the outcomes, the buzz surrounding the event continues to build.
