Heading into the highly anticipated premiere episode of WWE Raw on Netflix, many expected Becky Lynch to make her long-awaited return to WWE programming after months away. Lynchโ€™s rumored return was fueled by her appearance at a media event at Netflixโ€™s headquarters last month and her inclusion in promotional material for the show. Reports have also indicated that she is part of WWEโ€™s plans for WrestleMania 41. However, her return ultimately did not occur during the episode.

According to BodySlam.netโ€™s Cory Hays, Lynch was initially scheduled to appear following the Womenโ€™s World Title match between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. The original plan reportedly involved Lynch confronting the winner. However, this angle was scrapped in favor of The Undertaker having a moment with Ripley. The Deadman rode his motorcycle to the ring in his American Badass persona and posed alongside Ripley, creating a buzzworthy moment.

While away from WWE, Lynch has been expanding her career into Hollywood. She is set to star in the first season of the upcoming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy series, slated to air on Paramount Plus, with production beginning in August. Additionally, Lynch will appear in Happy Gilmore 2 alongside Adam Sandler, further showcasing her growing presence in entertainment.

Despite her absence on Raw, Lynchโ€™s return remains highly anticipated as fans await her involvement in WWEโ€™s road to WrestleMania.
