#4 Becky Lynch announces that she'll be taking a leave of absence from WWE, to become a mother

Becky Lynch stunned the world when she surrendered her WWE RAW Women's Championship to Asuka, the Money in the Bank winner, and announced that she would be stepping away for a period of time to focus on being a mother.

It is probably accurate to claim that Becky Lynch has been the breakout star among The 4 Horsewomen of WWE, and thankfully, Sasha Banks and Bayley stepped up on the SmackDown brand to steer the ship in the absence of the biggest female WWE star, maybe in the entire history of sports entertainment.

It is just a shame that her emotional moment, when The Man showed the world that she was just as tender on the side as she was tough on the outside, happened in front of no WWE fans.

Not every surprise in this list came from WWE Creative team, and as you guys are probably aware by now, Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins are proud parents to a girl called Roux.
