Becky Lynch has received high praise from Candice LeRae.

Following the announcement of her pregnancy with her husband Johnny Gargano, LeRae left the world of professional wrestling in August 2021. She gave birth to their son Quill on February 17, 2022, and returned to the ring on WWE Raw on September 26.

Lynch gave birth to her first child with husband Seth Rollins in December 2020 and returned to the ring at WWE SummerSlam 2021. LeRae discussed her return after giving birth on the Ringside podcast, as well as Lynch’s high standards.

LeRae said, “The women who have done this before me gave me the little bit of courage to comeback. I didn’t know if this was something that was going to be possible. Becky Lynch kind of set a bar really high for us moms coming back because she came back better than ever. Her doing that had me stop and go, ‘Wow, this is really possible. It’s doable and possible. She did it and look at her.’ She came back better than ever. ‘We can do this.’ It’s really awesome. Timing is everything and the timing has been absolutely perfect.”
