WWE president confirms Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey returns

Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch are both primed for their own WWE comebacks in the ‘not too distant future’.

The Baddest Woman On The Planet hasn’t been seen on the wrestling giant’s programming since losing her Raw Women’s Title in the main event of WrestleMania 35 in 2019.

Lynch – who won all the gold that night in a triple threat match involving SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair – gave birth to her first baby with Seth Rollins back in December, and hasn’t been seen on screen since last summer.

However, WWE president Nick Khan has been asked about the status of both performers and it will be music to the ears of fans around the world.

Speaking to Colin Cowherd – as transcribed by Fightful – he said: ‘Ronda is going to be coming back at a certain point in time.

‘Becky Lynch, she just had her first baby, she will be coming back at a certain point in time in the not too distant future.’

Fans will be delighted by the news, with both women proving popular and among the very best across the entire roster.

Ronda’s impending return may come as a surprise to some, after she made some foul-mouthed remarks about the fans in the past.

She said: ‘What am I doing it for if I’m not being able to spend my time and energy on my family, but instead spending my time and my energy on a bunch of f**king ungrateful fans that don’t even appreciate me?’

However, she did previously tease the prospect of a return in a tweet directed at Natalya.

Responding to WWE’s tweet about their Women’s Title match on Raw in 2018, she wrote: ‘One of my fav matches – such a huge challenge in so many ways, what a crazy day… looking forward to a rematch someday (sic).’

Meanwhile, Triple H himself had previously revealed the door is wide open for a return.

‘Of course, we want her. Of course, we do. One of the greatest performers for us ever,’ he told TMZ Sports.

‘We still have a great relationship on everything [with Ronda], and when she is ready, absolutely [we’ll have her back].’
