5 WWE Superstars who have reportedly signed new deals in 2021

#4. WWE RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch signed her first contract with WWE in 2013 and made her main roster debut two years later. Since then, the 34-year-old has become one of the most accomplished female superstars on the current WWE roster. She has also become one of the most popular in the history of the company.

However, Lynch had to relinquish her RAW Women's Title in May 2020 as she announced her pregnancy. She spent 15 months away from the ring before returning to WWE at SummerSlam last September to defeat Bianca Belair in 27 seconds and capture the SmackDown Women's Championship. Lynch later exchanged titles with RAW Women's Champion Charlotte Flair as both switched brands in the 2021 WWE Draft.

Before returning from her hiatus, Big Time Becks reportedly signed a new deal with WWE. Nearly a year before these reports came to light, Lynch spoke about her negotiations with WWE for a new contract:

"I should be making more in that whole company, everybody — Vince McMahon included. I want to change the game. I want to prove that it doesn’t matter your gender, your race, your background, if you are doing the job and keeping people invested, if you are keeping people interested, then you deserve to be paid at a level higher than anybody else. Or as high as anybody else. As high as the best of them. I look around the arenas and the majority of the people are in my shirts. The majority of people hold signs for me, so pay me as such and that will be the way it will be," she told Newsweek.

According to the reports, the current RAW Women's Champion's new contract is worth more than a million dollars a year. Nonetheless, other sources have reported that Lynch's current annual salary is 3.1 million dollars. She is now the highest-paid female wrestler in WWE.
