Becky Lynch Says Her Current Contract with WWE Being The Last One in Her Wrestling Career

The second season of the WWE: Unreal docuseries was released earlier today on Netflix.

One of the topics in the first episode of the new season featured Becky Lynch talking about the future of her wrestling career and her belief that her current contract with WWE is the last one for her career.

“When you’re in this world, and you’re always wanting to be on top. you have to kind of feel like you’re always fighting something, you’re fighting yourself. You’re fighting people that feel lie they wanna put you down. You’re also getting opinions about yourself constantly, about who  your are. Not that you believe them, but maybe it lies somewhere in the back of your head where you’re going, like ‘Oh, maybe I am a bad person.’ I love working. I love getting out in front of the crowd. I love wrestling, but there’s also that hard part of, ‘Now mom’s got to go to work.’ That guilt is always hard. Like, I Had this little kid that I had then been leaving. I felt lie when I’d come back, she was angry at me. Like I didn’t- I hadn’t had enough time with her. The time off, it was maybe gonna be forever. I don’t thin I knew. I was kind of so content. This is probably it, this is the final run. This is the final contract. So I suppose it’s a matter of knowing that, understanding that and enjoying that the best I can.”

Lynch also gave her thoughts about how she had felt “pretty burnt” out from wrestling in 2024 for the reason why she took a break from wrestling at the time.

“2024, I was pretty burnt out, and I said ‘okay, I think this is a good pause,’ I had been going on all cylinders since I came back from having my daughter. I love WWE, but I was away from her quite a bit and I felt like when I’d come home, she’d be mad at me, you know, and I hated that. She was always like my little bud. For all the thrills that you feel going out there in front of 30,000 people chanting your name or booing you or whatever it is, like, when I go to her gymnastics class and I see her doing, like a half-decent cartwheel, I’m like ‘Oh my God, my baby!’ It’s the greatest thing ever. May 2024, I told Hunter, I said, ‘Look, my contract’s up, I wanna take some time off,’ and he said ‘okay, 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.’ So that’s what we did.”
