Becky Lynch has been absent from WWE programming since this past June.

A recent episode of the Off The Ropes podcast featured Lynch as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Lynch’s thoughts about her current abscense from WWE television shows.

“We do need me. Sometimes you gotta let ‘em know. Sometimes you gotta point the torch. You gotta be the lighthouse. You gotta say, okay guys, what did you want? What did you want? Well, here’s the light. Here’s the rest. Here’s what it looks like without me. Do you like it? Do you like it? Is it exciting? Is it fun? No! It’s not! It needs more Becky Lynch, and then you come back and then everybody goes, I knew it. It was her all along.”

AJ Styles Comments on His Issues with Bron Breakker’s Booking in WWE & Wasted Potential as WWE World Heavyweight Champion

A recent episode of The Phenomenally Retro podcast featured WWE Hall of Famer and co-host AJ Styles giving his thoughts about his issues with Bron Breakker’s current booking in WWE and his belief that Breakker not being a WWE World Champion by now is just wasted potential of him.

“How long are we going to wait for Bron Breakker to be heavyweight champion? He should be next. I think that he’s definitely a star right now. Why we haven’t put it on him to put the rocket up his butt and send him to the freaking moon? I don’t know why we haven’t done that because he is the destroyer. Yeah well, he had to get a surgery done or he had a hernia or something. But the fact he was out and now he’s back and he’s even scarier than before. Like let’s go. Let’s freaking do this because we all know that it’s all about the chase. The babyface chasing the heel. Bron Breakker is the heel. Man, The Vision’s actually coming back together. They’re healing up and they’re coming back together. So, let’s see what we can do with those guys next. I’m not saying you got to split them up. That’s not what I’m saying. I’m just saying, I’d like to see Bron as a heavyweight champion, but he’s not in a heavyweight championship match at SummerSlam.”

YouTube TV Integrates with ESPN Unlimited Ahead of WWE SummerSlam 2026

As noted before, YouTube TV was among the cable and streaming service providers earlier this year who had still yet to have ESPN integrate their new ESPN Unlimited service for subscribers to get access for WWE PLEs free of charge. ESPN’s deal with WWE to be the exclusive broadcaster of WWE PLEs in the United States was originally meant to start at this past April’s WrestleMania 42 but was pushed ahead to this past September’s Wrestlepalooza event causing a significant amount of ESPN subscribers to not be able to get access to WWE PLEs for free as had been advertised.

CordCutters reported that YouTube TV recently released a new integration feature that now allows users to link their subscription with ESPN Unlimited and giving them access to the service and WWE PLEs at no additional cost.

It was reported that this new update appears in the Sports section of the YouTube TV settings menu “where users can toggle on the Connect ESPN option. Once activated, this connection allows viewers to monitor their NFL fantasy scores in real time while watching games or related content on YouTube TV, and it opens the door to streaming live sports events via the separate ESPN application.”

It was also reported that after linking a YouTube TV account, ESPN Unlimited is now listed in the ESPN app.
