In less than a month, titleholder Becky Lynch could be leaving WWE because she is yet to re-sign with the promotion.

When looking at the women’s division, it is stacked in WWE. Almost anyone on the main roster can be seen as a legit contender to the belt. Still, there are a handful of names that will always be towards the top like Charlotte Clair, Becky Lynch and Bayley. Although, at one point, Lynch seemed like the least likely to succeed. She came to main roster and looked like she would be released sooner than later. Instead, she became one of the biggest draws in WWE history.

Although, WWE will need to be make some progress if they want to keep her. Fightful Select reports how she has around 3 weeks left on her current deal. Technically, she could leave WWE and still be the Women’s World Champion. Both sides are talking in the right direction, but nothing has been signed yet. Lately, we are seeing a pattern of WWE taking their time re-signing talent. It seems to involve whatever strategy is behind TKO Group Holdings. Recently, her husband, Seth Rollins signed a lucrative deal. Also, the same occurred with Drew McIntyre and Finn Balor.

She Could Simply Retire

I just do not see Lynch leaving WWE. Her husband is there and at least working for the same company might make travel with a little child a bit easier. Plus, they get to spend plenty of time together. She only won the latest title due to Rhea Ripley being injured and vacating the belt.

In an interesting moment, Lynch will wrestle Liv Morgan at King & Queen of the Ring on March 25. Therefore, she could drop the title and head into free-agency before the month ends. WWE could keep the belt on her without a written contract, but that is too risky. Becky has not hid the idea of retiring sooner than later. She wants to spend more time being a mom, which is totally understandable. So, does anyone think Becky Lynch will be leaving WWE when her current deal ends?
