Becky Lynch made her long-awaited return to WWE at WrestleMania 41, but would have returned sooner if not for a health issue that arose earlier this year.
RAW Superstar Becky Lynch recently sat down with Lauren Coates of Variety. When asked about her extended absence from WWE, Lynch revealed she originally only planned to be gone for three months until work in Hollywood presented itself. Then there were talks about her returning at the Royal Rumble until a skin condition happened at the last minute.
“I took what I thought was going to be three months off during the summer, when my contract came up,” Becky Lynch said. “I was like, ‘Okay, seems like a good time to take a little break, get some stuff done.’ Then other things came up – I was filming ‘Star Trek,’ and then ‘Happy Gilmore.’
“There was talk [of a return] around Rumble time, but then at the last minute, I got a skin condition. The next big event was WrestleMania. So it seemed to make sense, especially if I could take Bayley out of the mix and ruin her dreams. It felt doubly brilliant.”
Lynch didn’t elaborate on what the skin condition entailed, but now that it’s out there, we imagine she’ll speak on it more in the coming weeks.
