The WWE Universe was buzzing with speculation about Becky Lynchs return during the monumental Netflix premiere of Monday Night RAW, but fans were left wondering why the Man didnt show up. Now, new reports reveal why Lynchs highly anticipated comeback was shelved.
According to Bodyslam, Becky Lynch was in Los Angeles for the event and was originally slated to make her return during the Womens World Championship match between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. However, those plans were scrapped to make room for a jaw-dropping moment featuring The Undertaker.
After Ripley secured her victory over Morgan to claim the Womens World Championship, The Undertaker made his iconic entrance and joined Ripley on stage, creating a striking visual that WWE felt was better suited for the debut episode. The decision to nix Lynchs return was reportedly made to prioritize this symbolic passing-of-the-torch moment between the Deadman and Ripley.
While Becky Lynch didnt make her long-awaited comeback, the report assures fans that shes still expected to return to WWE programming soon. With WrestleMania season around the corner, Lynchs next move could set the stage for a blockbuster storyline. Her WWE contract officially expired in June 2024, but after taking a break, shes poised to re-enter the ring in a major way.
