Liv Morgan recently made a bold claim regarding former WWE Women’s World Champion Becky Lynch. At WrestleMania 40, Lynch challenged Rhea Ripley for the title but came up short, suffering a defeat at Ripley’s hands.
However, unexpected events unfolded after WrestleMania 40, leading to a major blow to Rhea Ripley. Having won the title from Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39 the previous year, Ripley reigned supreme as a dominant champion for over a year, holding the title for an impressive 379 days. However, on WWE Raw, following WrestleMania 40, Liv Morgan, who had previously vowed revenge on Ripley, launched a brutal backstage attack.
In the chaotic backstage brawl between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley, Ripley suffered a legitimate injury, forcing her to relinquish her title. This prompted WWE to organize a battle royal to crown a new women’s world champion. Ultimately, Becky Lynch emerged victorious by eliminating Liv Morgan last, capturing the title.
Liv Morgan, who came close to winning the championship, demanded a title match against Becky Lynch. Their highly anticipated match took place at the WWE King and Queen of the Ring premium live event. However, the outcome was nothing short of controversial. Dominik Mysterio, Ripley’s on-screen partner, interfered in the match, ultimately leading to Liv Morgan’s victory and the WWE Women’s Championship changing hands.
However, WWE granted Morgan an immediate rematch the following Raw, where she emerged victorious once again. Following this defeat, Becky Lynch posted a cryptic message on her Instagram, sparking fan speculation about a potential retirement. Now, the current WWE Women’s World Champion, Liv Morgan, has further fueled the rumors.
Liv Morgan’s revelation: Did she just retire Becky Lynch?
Former Women’s World Champion Becky Lynch was last seen on WWE Raw, where she lost to Liv Morgan in her bid to regain the women’s world title. Recently, she celebrated her ten-year anniversary in WWE. To mark this significant achievement, WWE broadcast partner, USA Network, honored Lynch with a post. The post received a response from current WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, who mentioned that she has effectively sent Becky Lynch into retirement.
While this further fuels the rumors about Lynch’s retirement, it’s important to note that her current contract with WWE has also expired. There have been no reports of her re-signing with the promotion, and reportedly, she is on hiatus from the world of professional wrestling. She is expected to return soon to WWE programming. It appears Morgan is playfully teasing the retirement rumors about Becky Lynch, as she hinted on her Instagram.
