Official Wrestling News Thread

Becky Lynch has the wrestling world buzzing after tweeting that she wouldn’t be at the April 17 WWE Raw, but she might be in store for some big time money sooner than later.

Becky Lynch, one of the top stars in pro wrestling and a WrestleMania main eventer, legitimately is not set to be at the April 17 episode of Raw. When we inquired within WWE we were told that she was originally scheduled to be at WWE Raw as of last Monday, but WWE sources had indicated that there are “no issues to their knowledge between Becky Lynch and WWE.” She’s been dealing with a minor foot injury, which has been exacerbated recently.

With Lynch dropping her verification badge and changing her display name to her real name, Rebecca Quin, many inquiries were made to Fightful about her current status with WWE. We’re told that Lynch signed a brand new deal upon returning to the company in 2021, and her time off for maternity leave is not a factor. Lynch signed a three-year deal that currently expires in June 2024. Thus far, WWE sources tell us the two have not entered negotiations for a new deal.

There are several deals that are up in 2024, as WWE had signed much of the roster to four year contracts then. At the time, WWE was signing and extending talent way before their expiration.
 
According to a report from Fightful Select, WWE and the video game streaming platform reached a deal that will allow WWE talent to broadcast on the platform with "almost no restrictions." However, one restriction that does exist is that WWE talent would need permission to bring performers from other companies onto their streams.

Revenue earned will be split three ways between WWE, the talent, and Twitch with the latter two receiving the majority of what is generated.

I don’t understand why these wrestlers let WWE tax their pockets like that.. Your one doing the work and you have give a split with Twitc.. It makes no sense to me.. It’s the same thing with the wrestlers who get opportunities in Tv shows or movies.. WWE wants cut of that too…
