Report: Becky Lynch ‘expected to be back in the mix’ with WWE soon

Becky Lynch could be close to ending her pro wrestling hiatus.

PWInsider reports that “sources within WWE and Netflix have stated that Lynch is expected to be back in the mix with the company” by the time Raw premieres on Netflix in January 2025. Lynch has been away from WWE since late May with her contract expiring at the start of June. At the time, it was expected that Lynch would be taking an extended break from the ring before eventually returning.

Lynch is appearing at Vulture Festival in Los Angeles this Sunday (November 17) for a conversation called “Becky Lynch Disarms Us.” She will discuss her memoir that was released earlier this year — and Vulture is teasing that Lynch may provide a glimpse at what she has in store next.

During an appearance on the Games With Names podcast over the summer, Lynch said she was enjoying her time away from the ring and had “many options on the table” for her future. A return would mean that WWE and Lynch have agreed on a new contract for her.

WWE Raw will premiere on Netflix starting with the Monday, January 6, 2025 episode of the show. The location has not been officially announced yet, but the newly opened Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California has been the rumored venue for the episode.
