6 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 6 we hope aren't: 3-time World Champion possibly retiring at WrestleMania 36, Returning star expected to eliminate Lesnar at Royal Rumble

#5. Hope is true: Becky Lynch's contract extension

Becky Lynch's contract was used as a part of her storyline with Asuka

Before you mention it - we know. Becky Lynch denied the reports of her contract extension. However, it would be foolish to take their word for it. Remember when John Morrison vehemently denied reports of signing with WWE after all those years?

When Edge has been asked about the question of a return, he too has vehemently denied it - and who can blame him. In Becky Lynch's case, the same is understandable. The storyline she's a part of is one where she is the "golden goose" of the company or the "handpicked corporate face". As a result, the company wants to protect her from the one woman she's never defeated - Asuka.

In that story, Lynch has used her contract running up as leverage to get the match and as a result, she has likely denied the report.

The report was by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter - stating that Lynch signed a $1 million per year deal in 2019. We hope this is true and believe that it is, despite what The Man tweeted:

Report not true. Haven’t signed anything new in years. Deal coming up soon. https://t.co/tpqTzGNM0y
