For the first time since May 27, 2024, Becky Lynch has returned to action in a WWE ring. Lynch returned as Lyra Valkyria's mystery tag team partner in a championship match against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez at WrestleMania 41 on Sunday.

It was unclear if Lynch would ever make her return to a WWE ring, as her previous contract with WWE had expired, and there was no definite answer as to whether she'd signed another contract with the company or not.

Not only did Lynch make her return, but she and Valkyria were victorious and became the new women's tag team champions.

With the win, Valkyria is now one half of the women's tag team champions as well as the women's Intercontinental Champion.

The next upcoming Premium Live Event for WWE will be WrestleMania Backlash in St. Louis, Missouri, on May 10, and it would not be a surprise to see a rematch between the two teams.

In the grand scheme of things, Lynch is one of the best wrestlers in the world, and it is great to see her back in the ring where she belongs.
