Becky Lynch claims she's in the final two months of her current WWE contract.
During an appearance on the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Becky Lynch was asked whether she was in the last year of her current WWE contract. Lynch, who is scheduled to face Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Championship at WrestleMania, would go on to reveal that she is in the final two months of her contract.
While she played coy about whether or not she would be re-signing, she also firmly stated that she highly doubts that this will be her last WrestleMania.
Here's the full exchange:
Ariel Helwani: Is this the final year of your contract?
Becky Lynch: It's the final two months. [laughs]
Ariel Helwani: This is fun, I like this.
Becky Lynch: You wanted me to be honest.
Ariel Helwani: Yes, I do. I love honesty. Any talks of the renewal?
Becky Lynch: Nobody's said nothing to me.
Ariel Helwani: Are you interested in renewing?
Becky Lynch: We'll see.
Ariel Helwani: What do you mean, 'We'll see?'
Becky Lynch: We'll see [laughs].
Ariel Helwani: What happens after two months if you don't have a deal? Can you talk to others?
Becky Lynch: I'm WWE.
Ariel Helwani: Okay, so it's WWE or bust?
Becky Lynch: Yeah, I just don't know.
Ariel Helwani: Is there a chance this is your last WrestleMania?
Becky Lynch: I doubt that.
Ariel Helwani: Is this common that it would be two months out and no deal?
Becky Lynch: nuh-uh.
Ariel Helwani: Maybe that's the difference in the Endeavor era and this old era. Interesting. Are you nervous about this? Are you anxious about it? Do you feel disrespected that there isn't a new deal in front of you?
Becky Lynch: At this stage in the game, contrary to a lot of the thoughts in this book [from] when I was coming up, I am so confident in my ability and my worth. I'm not worried.
Ariel Helwani: Do you think this gets settled before WrestleMania?
Becky Lynch: I don't know. There's a lot coming up before WrestleMania. I just gave you my schedule for the next month. I don't know when I'm going to get to play a zombie again for my three-year-old.
