Becky Lynch has shed light on why her recent hiatus from WWE stretched longer than initially planned. Her contract concluded at the end of May 2024, prompting what she envisioned as a brief respite from her wrestling duties.
In a Variety interview, Lynch stated, “I took what I thought was going to be three months off…when my contract came up.” However, this intended short break extended significantly due to unexpected professional opportunities that arose outside of WWE.
“Then other things came up – I was filming ‘Star Trek,’ and then ‘Happy Gilmore,’” Lynch explained, identifying the projects that occupied her time. A potential earlier comeback at the 2025 Royal Rumble was also thwarted.

Lynch revealed, “There was talk (of a return) around Rumble time, but then at the last minute, I got a skin condition.” Consequently, her return aligned with WrestleMania 41 in April 2025. She recently challenged Lyra Valkyria at WWE Backlash.
