Without a doubt, ‘The Man’ is living a sweet moment in WWE. This is because a couple of weeks ago, she managed to capture the WWE Women’s World Championship in a battle royale match on RAW, thus adding one more World Championship to her acclaimed collection.
And now Becky Lynch will put her belt on the line against Liv Morgan at the 2024 King & Queen of the Ring, which will take place on May 25 from Saudi Arabia. However, we learned last year that Becky Lynch’s contract with WWE will end in June 2024, more or less at the same time as her husband. Seth Rollins has since re-signed with WWE, so what about Becky Lynch? Well, according to a renowned insider, The Man might re-sign with the WWE soon and she might earn more than AEW’s Mercedes Mone.

Becky Lynch’s future in WWE hangs under a cloud of uncertainty as her contract expires soon. The current Women’s World Champion has been a regular presence on Monday Night Raw. But she has yet to sign a new contract. The timing proves challenging, as she is scheduled to defend her title against Liv Morgan. And it is just days before the end of her current contract. This could potentially lead to WWE and Becky keeping quiet about a new contract to create suspense. But according to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, the WWE might offer her the biggest contract in women’s wrestling history.
During the latest edition of the Fightful wrestling podcast, Sapp said that he would be taken aback if the WWE did not offer Lynch more than Mercedes Mone. And there were other rumors as well that Lynch is demanding more than her AEW counterpart. Sapp said, “If Becky does not have the biggest contract in Women’s wrestling history, I’d be surprised.”
Mercedes Mone joined AEW a few months ago in AEW Big Business. And according to reports, Tony Khan offered her a hefty $10 million deal. This made it the biggest contract a woman wrestler has ever achieved across all promotions around the world. And being ‘The Man’ of the WWE, Lynch deserves the pay raise with a new contract that shatters all records.

Fans have speculated about her future in WWE. With some predicting that she would leave if she lost to Liv at King of the Ring. However, others doubt that she will leave her husband, Seth Rollins, who recently signed a new contract with the company. Lynch’s response to questions about her contract was evasive, indicating that nothing was certain at this point.
Despite rumors that the Man could potentially join a rival promotion like AEW, she has admitted that she wishes to stay in WWE. She had a successful 11-year run with the company. From an up-and-coming talent in NXT to becoming one of the most decorated artists in the industry, she has been part of several historic moments, including the first women’s match to headline WrestleMania in 2019. So it won’t be surprising if she becomes the highest-paid women’s wrestler in the sport’s history. What do you think? Does Lynch deserve such a contract? Let us know in the comments.
