Becky Lynch, a mainstay in the wrestling industry, recently saw her reign as Women’s World Champion end with a loss to Liv Morgan at WWE King & Queen of the Ring. Seeking redemption, Lynch faced Morgan in a rematch on RAW this week but was defeated once more. Chris Jericho has since commented on the possibility of Lynch joining AEW.
Becky Lynch’s contract with WWE is set to expire this week, potentially making her latest appearance on RAW her last before signing a new deal with the company. While Lynch has yet to re-sign, her departure would be a big shocker.
Lynch failed to win back the Women’s World Championship on the May 27 edition of RAW and fans wondered if this was the end of her run. They also wondered if she would actually go to AEW next.
Once Becky Lynch becomes a free agent, it’s almost certain that she’ll receive offers, including a likely deal from AEW. In an interview with TMZ Sports, Chris Jericho expressed his satisfaction that ‘The Man’ has options. However, he did not confirm that Lynch would definitely join AEW.
“Five years ago, Becky would have no other options. [I’m] not saying that she’s coming but there is an option and who knows what could happen? No one thought that Jericho would come to AEW. No one thought that Moxley would come or Bryan Danielson or Adam Cole or any of these guys that have come over. So it’s exciting for the fans. It’s exciting for the wrestlers, the talent, because now suddenly if there’s a bidding war that just benefits us. So I think it’s very important.”
We have also reported the possibility of Becky Lynch making her way to AEW. Becky Lynch also sent cryptic message following Monday Night RAW. Only time will tell whether Lynch will end up taking a long break from WWE and end up signing a lucrative contract with them eventually.
