On May 11, 2020, Becky Lynch announced she would be stepping away from wrestling as she was about to become a new mom.
Becky and Seth Rollins welcomed Roux to the world in December 2020. Despite multiple teases and pitches, Lynch didn't end up returning to the ring until WWE SummerSlam 2021.
One year later, Lynch has been back full-time as a working mom and says WWE has provided her with plenty of support over the past year.
"I feel very supported in WWE," she told Rachel DeMita of ESPN when asked how sports teams and companies can provide for moms. "I felt no pressure to comeback before I was ready. I was ready a lot longer than they asked me to come back. They're very understanding when I need extra things, whether it be a room at a particular building for my baby. We have the privilege of having a bus, which helps an awful lot and makes her sleep a lot better with the rumbling. For me, I feel very supported and very privileged that I'm in the position that I am that I can balance the two quite handily. Traveling every week with a toddler can get a bit tough, she's great."
Lynch is scheduled to face Bianca Belair at WWE SummerSlam for the Raw Women's Championship. Lynch defeated Belair to win the SmackDown Women's Title in 26 seconds at SummerSlam 2021.
