Becky Lynch has announced that she has signed her final contract with WWE, marking a significant moment in her wrestling career. During the premiere of the second season of WWE Unreal, Lynch expressed both relief and bittersweet feelings about concluding this chapter of her life.
In her candid remarks, Lynch shared her love for wrestling and the audience but revealed the emotional toll of balancing her career with motherhood. “The hard part is when ‘Mom’s got to go to work,’” she stated. This struggle was compounded by feelings of guilt when leaving her young daughter, as she recounted moments when her child appeared upset upon her return.
Lynch noted that she has come to terms with this being her “final run” in wrestling. She emphasized the importance of cherishing the remaining time she has in the ring, saying, “So I suppose it’s a matter of knowing that, understanding that and enjoying that the best I can.”
Struggles with Burnout and Time Off
The episode also highlighted Lynch’s relationship with her husband, fellow wrestler Seth Rollins, and her surprise return at WrestleMania 41. During that event, she was the mystery partner for Lyra Valkyria in a tag team match against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
Reflecting on her career, Lynch admitted to feeling “pretty burnt out” in 2024. After discussing her feelings with Triple H in May of that year, she requested time off as her contract was nearing its end. “I told Hunter, ‘Look, my contract’s up, I wanna take some time off,’ and he said, ‘Ok. Well, look, we’ll pause it. We’ll give you a little bit of time and then we’ll renegotiate the contract when you’re ready,’” Lynch explained.
This acknowledgment of burnout underlines the pressures faced by professional wrestlers, juggling demanding schedules and personal lives. Lynch’s openness about her struggles may resonate with many in the industry and beyond.
As she prepares for this final chapter, Lynch’s journey serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those in the sporting world. With her last contract signed, fans and fellow wrestlers alike will undoubtedly be eager to support her as she embraces the remaining moments of her wrestling career, making memories both in and out of the ring.
