Becky Lynch is said to be at the Royal Rumble on Saturday after her long WWE hiatus – will “The Man” return to the ring?
The 2025 Royal Rumble will take place during the night from Saturday to Sunday – and the rumors and speculation about possible surprise appearances at the WWE spectacle in Indianapolis are increasing.
Freshly signed Jordynne Grace is considered a hot candidate, as are cult star Joe Hendry, champion of the WWE-affiliated TNA league, Malakai / Aleister Black, who defected to AEW, giant Omos, who has declared his interlude with the Japanese league NOAH to be over – and Becky Lynch.
Becky Lynch as a possible surprise
After “The Man” let her WWE contract expire last year to take a break from wrestling, the Irishwoman is said to have signed a new deal at the beginning of the year. Now longtime industry insider Mike Johnson of Pro Wrestling Insider reports: Lynch is scheduled to be at the Lucas Oil Stadium this weekend. Theoretically, the six-time women’s champion could just be there to support her husband Seth Rollins – since the Rumble is traditionally a launching pad for big comebacks with WrestleMania in April in mind, it would be rather surprising if WWE didn’t put Lynch in the running. It has already been officially confirmed that Lynch’s old companion and friend-enemy Charlotte Flair will be returning at the Rumble. Speculation is mounting that the “Queen” will face the young WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania – and possibly win her 15th title in the main event.
