Becky Lynch may be thriving on-screen as the current WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion, but behind the scenes, the clock is clearly ticking on her legendary career. In a candid and emotional conversation, Lynch admitted that this phase of her WWE run could very well be her last.
Speaking on the latest season of WWE: Unreal, Lynch reflected on the physical and emotional toll of juggling life as a top WWE star and a mother. After returning to the road following the birth of her daughter, Lynch said she pushed herself at full speed — and eventually hit a wall.
According to Lynch, 2024 was a breaking point. She described feeling burned out after years of nonstop work and acknowledged that being away from her daughter weighed heavily on her. While her love for WWE hasn’t faded, the guilt of leaving home was becoming harder to manage, especially when she felt the distance affecting her relationship with her child.
That led to a pivotal conversation with WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque in May 2024. With her contract nearing its end, Lynch asked for time away from the company. WWE granted her request, agreeing to pause negotiations and revisit her deal once she felt ready. That break, she admitted, came with uncertainty — including the possibility that she might not come back at all.
Now that she’s returned, Lynch seems more aware than ever that the finish line is in sight. She openly stated that this is likely her final contract with WWE and described her current run as the closing chapter of her in-ring career. While she still loves performing, connecting with the crowd, and wrestling at the highest level, the emotional tug-of-war between career ambition and motherhood remains constant.
Lynch also touched on the mental side of being a WWE star — the nonstop scrutiny, outside opinions, and internal battles that come with life in the spotlight. Even when those voices aren’t fully believed, she admitted they can linger in the back of her mind, adding another layer to the challenge.
For fans who have followed Becky Lynch from her NXT days to becoming one of the most influential women in WWE history, her words carry real weight. While nothing is officially set in stone, it’s clear Lynch is approaching this run with perspective, gratitude, and an understanding that the end may be closer than many expected.
If this truly is “The Man’s” final ride, she’s determined to enjoy it — balancing passion, purpose, and family — one match at a time.
