Becky Lynch has broken her silence on her WWE future amid a six-month hiatus from the company.

Lynch, who is widely-regarded as one of the most impactful women's wrestlers of all time and is a likely future WWE Hall of Famer, hasn't been seen in WWE since May after her contract expired. 

A number of contracts of top stars in the company have run down in recent times, including the likes of Seth Rollins - who is Lynch's real-life partner, Lynch and Drew McIntyre.

Some have since re-signed, though the likes of Bobby Lashley left amid a shake-up of WWE stars under the stewardship of current boss Triple H.

Lynch had been with WWE since 2013, starting off in development and NXT before moving to the main roster and becoming one of the biggest stars in the company.

She had hinted at retirement following the expiry of her contract at he start of June, but has now insisted she isn't done - if her return is with WWE or elsewhere, thought, is yet to be seen.

Lynch, a seven-time women's champion in the promotion, hasn't been seen since end of May

Her contract expired at the start of June and she is yet to agree new terms, currently on a break

'If you think I'm going out with Dominik [Mysterio] slamming a cage door in my face, that's definitely not gonna happen,' Lynch said in an interview at the 2024 Vulture Festival this week.

She is a seven-time world champion in the promotion, holding a title as recently as the end of May when she lost her women's world championship to Liv Morgan at the King and Queen of the Ring event in Saudi Arabia.

Her final feud was with Morgan, who is the current title holder, losing their final match after involvement from Mysterio.

The season finale of 'Biography: WWE Legends' aired in August and featured Lynch, looking back on her illustrious career with WWE.

Lynch shared a photo of herself with her daughter on Instagram after it aired, with the caption: 'It’s been a helluva career.

'Being the Man for all of you was an honor, being the mom for her is a privilege. Thanks for watching my bio on @AETV.' 

Having moved to the United States from Ireland to pursue a wrestling career, Lynch broke onto the scene in 2015, joining the main roster alongside Paige and Charlotte Flair.

Asked by Mail Sport earlier this year why so many deals have been running down, meanwhile, Triple H, real name Paul Levesque, said: 'Just like any sport, any business, talent - we signed talent, talent contract runs out.

'We release talent. It's just part of the process. So it's an ongoing thing.'
