From the WWE Rumor Mill: Becky Lynch's comeback delayed?

What’s the story?

As reported by PWInsider, Becky Lynch may not return to WWE until January of next year.

Although her Marine 6 co-star Miz is likely returning as early as next week, the WWE only has plans for Lynch until after the commencement of the new year.

In case you didn’t know…

Monday Night RAW Superstar The Miz and SmackDown Live Superstar Becky Lynch have been off their respective shows over the past few weeks, owing to their Hollywood obligations.

The Miz and Lynch have been busy filming The Marine 6 alongside WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels—with the latter previously alluding that the movie’s shooting will wrap up around December 24th.

The heart of the matter

The vast majority of professional wrestling experts now believe that ‘The Irish Lass Kicker’ Becky Lynch may not return to SmackDown Live until January 2018.

In fact, WWE is working her character into SmackDown’s creative plans only from early January onwards.

Furthermore, one ought to note that WWE is advertising Miz for next week’s RAW, but aren’t promoting Lynch for the coming Tuesday’s edition of SmackDown Live. However, The Miz’s return is yet to be confirmed by WWE, with the advertisement being the only cue alluding towards the A-Lister coming back to RAW next week.

What’s next?

The upcoming episode of RAW will air from the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, RI on December 18th, and will likely see The Miz return, potentially against THESE guys.

On the other hand, Becky Lynch is not expected to make her SmackDown comeback until early January.
