WWE Rumours on Becky Lynch’s Contract, Bobby Lashley Injury and Cody Rhodes Milestone
- Latest WWE rumours: Becky Lynch’s contract update, Bobby Lashley’s injury news, and Cody Rhodes’ milestone achievement.
Get up-to-date on the most recent AEW and WWE news with Bleacher Report.
Despite being the current WWE women’s world champion, Becky Lynch’s tenure may not last long.
Despite the fact that Lynch’s current contract with WWE expires at the end of May, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful revealed that she has not yet signed a new contract. The 37-year-old and the other party have been in talks for a while, but they haven’t been able to reach an agreement.
Later this month, Lynch will challenge Liv Morgan to a live King and Queen of the Rings match to defend her world title. There is a high probability that Lynch will give that title to Morgan in the absence of a new agreement.
Even if Lynch and WWE may be playing chicken during contract negotiations, her departure would come as a huge surprise. Seth Rollins, her spouse, recently resigned on a huge new deal. Lynch claimed she had no intention of wrestling for another promotion when she spoke with Ariel Helwani of the MMA Hour, so it seems odd that she would want to split ways with Rollins.
“I am so confident in my ability and my worth,” Lynch stated.
We’re ready to take a chance that this is all just a negotiation tactic on the part of WWE and Lynch because they both want to keep her.
Although fans were surprised when Bobby Lashley had to withdraw from the King of the Ring competition due to injury, WWE management was not.
Sapp stated Days before Lashley’s injury forced him out of Friday’s scheduled match against Toma Tonga, WWE was aware of it.
“Yeah, they knew he was injured as of Monday, so him being removed isn’t necessarily a big surprise within the company,” Sapp stated.
Angelo Dawkins, who suffered a defeat against Tonga in their opening-round encounter, took Lashley’s place. Sapp pointed out that because Tonga was expected to advance, Dawkins was probably selected as the replacement rather than Montez Ford.
The nature of Lashley’s injury and the duration of his absence from activity are unknown. Even though Lashley’s condition is just temporary, there was no point in forcing him to compete when he was sure to lose and risk aggravating the problem.
Even though Lashley is still physically amazing, he turns 48 in July. It wouldn’t be shocking if WWE were to use Lashley less frequently on the main card in order to prolong the life of his body.
