Becky Lynch's WWE Return Delayed Over Creative Disputes

Becky Lynch's extended absence from WWE television since late May 2024 has been attributed to her reluctance to participate in uninspired storylines, despite being under contract for at least four to five months. Wrestling journalist Sean Ross Sapp revealed that creative plans were pitched for Lynch as early as January, but these ideas—reportedly involving multi-person matches rather than singles competition—ultimately did not materialize. Lynch, known for her strategic approach to building buzz, is said to be waiting for a more compelling and creatively fulfilling storyline before making her return. Her continued presence in WWE promotional material, such as banners at WWE World, indicates that the company still regards her as a key figure in the women's division. Fans had anticipated her return around WrestleMania, but Lynch herself has playfully downplayed immediate comeback rumors. In the meantime, she has appeared in outside projects, including a commercial campaign alongside other celebrities.
