'The Man' Becky Lynch stunned the WWE Universe after she announced her pregnancy on RAW and thereby relinquished her RAW Women's Championship. Becky Lynch has arguably been one of the top stars in the company for two years running and will now take some time off from the company in order to focus on her health and starting a new family with fiance and fellow WWE superstar, Seth Rollins. While Lynch was busy announcing her pregnancy to the WWE Universe, fans on the other side were left speculating if this marks the end of The Man's WWE career. Unsurprisingly, 'Is Becky Lynch leaving the WWE?' and Is Becky Lynch retiring?' have been the two most frequently asked questions since the episode of RAW.

To answer the 'Is Becky Lynch leaving the WWE' question, Lynch will now be taking extended time off from the company as maternity leave. Reports suggest Lynch found out she was pregnant in April 2020 which means she will be due in December this year. This implies the former RAW Women's Champion will not be returning to the company in 2020. In 2019, Lynch reportedly signed a multi-year deal with the company which is expected to be a long-term contract. Hence, Lynch will likely be contracted to the company whenever she decides to return to the business.
