Becky Lynch needs a long break and won’t join another company. It seems Ricochet has decided to use his talents elsewhere and has joined AEW. In such a tough situation where many superstars are on break, WWE has successfully extended contracts with Asuka, Drew McIntyre, and Seth Rollins.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer reported, “WWE went to a number of people whose deals are coming up over the next several months to sign new contracts. Asuka was announced publicly. There may be others, but WWE did not confirm them.”
However, they also need to negotiate a new deal with Kevin Owens, whose contract is nearing its end. These actions show that the organization is trying to keep its best performers even though things are changing.
However, Becky Lynch’s contract is the one that has the biggest cloud over it. Folks are wondering why “The Man” hasn’t signed with WWE yet.
