As Becky Lynch prepares for a highly anticipated appearance at the Vulture Festival on November 17, 2024, speculation is swirling around her WWE future.
Her upcoming discussion at the festival, titled Becky Lynch Disarms Us, promises to touch on her memoir, The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl, and could provide fans with long-awaited insights into her career and her next steps.
While her WWE contract reportedly expired in June 2024, Lynch’s fanbase is eager for any hint about whether she will continue with WWE or explore new horizons.
Becky Lynch, a former Women’s World Champion, has been away from WWE action since May.
Her last WWE appearance saw her lose her Women’s World Championship to Liv Morgan at the WWE King and Queen of the Ring event.
After this match, Lynch took an extended hiatus, with reports indicating that her contract expired on June 1, 2024.
Liv Morgan has since playfully suggested that she “retired” Lynch from WWE.
With her WWE contract expiration, many fans are curious whether Lynch might pursue a new deal with WWE or explore fresh opportunities outside the promotion, potentially following other WWE stars who have made moves to AEW or even Hollywood.
Latest Developments on Becky Lynch’s WWE Contract Situation
A recent update on the Backstage Pass podcast by Jonathan Coachman claimed that Lynch had asked WWE for a significant pay increase during her last contract negotiations, which was rejected by WWE.
“Roman’s at that 15-20 million mark, and TKO doesn’t want to pay anybody. […] Then you got Cody Rhodes, who’s making 10-15 reportedly. Then Seth, who is her [Becky Lynch] better half, he’s probably in that three to seven million range. So reportedly, she was asking for over two million a year. […] They didn’t do it..[…] If they paid her, she’d be on the show. And they’re desperate for females right now.”

However, WWE insiders have disputed Coachman’s account.
Sources within WWE insist that Lynch and WWE remain on good terms and that the company respects her choice to take time off after her championship run.
They also clarified that if Lynch had prioritized negotiating a new deal before her break, an agreement would likely have been reached.
WWE has denied that her requested salary was as low as $2 million, suggesting that her true contract value would far exceed that amount.
Becky Lynch and WWE are still on good terms.
