Becky Lynch hasn’t been seen on WWE television in nearly a year — and fans are not letting it slide.

Ahead of the March 24 episode of WWE RAW in Glasgow, Scotland, The Man started trending on Twitter — not for a surprise appearance, but because the WWE Universe realized it’s officially been 300 days since she last stepped into the spotlight.

One user posted, “Over 300 days ago, Liv Morgan retired Becky Lynch (in kayfabe). This full circle moment is still insane to me. Hopefully, Becky finally returns tonight. #WWERaw.”

Another fan simply wrote, “300 days without Becky Lynch… 💔” while a third added, “300 days without Becky Lynch on my weekly programming. 300 days of pain.”

Lynch’s last match was a Steel Cage loss to Liv Morgan on the May 27, 2024 episode of RAW, and since then, her absence has sparked endless speculation. Some thought it was a break, others blamed contract issues — and now we know it was a little of both.

According to Wrestling Informer’s Billi Bhatti, Becky’s return was delayed due to a change in representation. She and her husband Seth Rollins recently signed with Adventure Media, an agency known for managing top Hollywood talent. That change held up contract negotiations, especially since Becky reportedly wanted flexibility in how her ring name is used and more freedom to pursue outside opportunities.

“In Becky’s case, it wasn’t about getting permission to take other opportunities without WWE necessarily getting a cut,” Bhatti explained. “She also wanted to be allowed to use the Becky Lynch name without WWE fully owning it.”

While Lynch hasn’t appeared in the ring, she’s been far from inactive — she’s currently involved in several film and media projects, including a major role in Happy Gilmore 2, coming to Netflix this July. She’s also been spotted at Netflix events, fueling speculation that her eventual return could be connected to WWE’s new streaming partnership.

As her 300-day absence becomes a trending topic, fans are hoping tonight’s RAW will finally end the drought.

Will Becky Lynch make her return tonight, or will fans be stuck counting the days even longer? How do you feel about her extended absence? Drop your thoughts in the comments — we want to hear what you think.
