After losing in the first round of the Queen of the Ring tournament, Becky Lynch has not been seen on WWE television.

As one of WWE’s biggest female stars, it would just make sense if the company had major plans ahead for ‘The Man’ whenever she is ready to make her return.

Here are seven potential Becky Lynch WWE return plans.

7. Rematch With Sol Ruca For WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship

At WWE Clash In Italy 2026, Sol Ruca defeated Becky Lynch to win the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship.

Since losing the Women’s IC Title, Lynch has not yet received a rematch for the championship that she lost.

Meanwhile, Ruca has tried to prove herself as a fighting champion, defending the title against Lyra Valkyria and Raquel Rodriguez.

If she is set to make her return in the near future, it might be Lynch coming for the title she put on the map and get a rematch with Sol Ruca sooner rather than later.

6. Reconciliation With Lyra Valkyria

Becky Lynch turned on Lyra Valkyria the night after they won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles together at WrestleMania 41

Even before signing with WWE, Lyra Valkyria met Becky Lynch and soon saw the multi-time world champion as a mentor.

This led to a friendship that saw Lyra and Becky team to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. However, the duo lost the gold one day later and Lynch turned on Valkyria.

While they went on to trade the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship, Becky might agree with the recent actions of Valkyria who recently turned on her former tag team partner Bayley.

Seeing a distraught and unhinged version of her former protégé, Becky Lynch might think she should have a reconciliation with Lyra Valkyria to form an alliance in the WWE women’s division.

5. Helping Seth Rollins Beat Roman Reigns At WWE SummerSlam 2026

Becky Lynch aligned herself on television with her husband Seth Rollins for several months in 2025, helping him retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Clash in Paris 2025

With 14 years of history with one another, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins will look to settle the score once and for all by having a World Heavyweight Championship match at WWE SummerSlam 2026.

Coming into this bout, Reigns is on the quest to finally beat his former Shield brethren when a world title is up for grabs.

However, Rollins might be even more desperate than ever to defeat his longtime rival and win back the World Heavyweight Title that he never lost.

Rollins getting help from Becky Lynch is nothing he hasn’t done in the past and could be seen as a babyface move this time around considering Reigns’ status as the top star in WWE.

4. Reunion With The Vision

However this association didn’t last long with Rollins being excommunicated by Bron Breakker and The Vision just a month and a half later.

Looking to reestablish herself back in WWE, Lynch might find herself back with the members of The Vision on Raw once again.

Potentially reigniting the conflict between Rollins and the group or just trying to have backup in her quest back to the top, Lynch could become a world champion in the near future.

3. First-Time Meeting With Stephanie Vaquer

Since arriving on the WWE main roster in 2025, Stephanie Vaquer has become one of the premier stars in the women’s division.

‘La Primera’ captured the WWE Women’s World Championship and held it for 210 days before losing the gold to Liv Morgan at WrestleMania 42.

Following the loss to Morgan, Vaquer has been sidelined with a shoulder injury that has had her on the shelf ever since.

With both ladies coming back around the same time, WWE could set up a tantalizing first time ever matchup between Lynch and Vaquer in the near future.

2. Challenge Liv Morgan For WWE Women’s World Championship

In 2024, Liv Morgan defeated Becky Lynch to become the WWE Women’s World Champion for the first time.

Morgan has had Lynch’s number in the past few meetings in singles competition and now sits atop of the Raw women’s division with the gold.

Since she has stated that no one is willing to step up to challenge her, Becky Lynch could come back into the fold to challenge Morgan next.

A babyface turn for “The Man” would be very interesting and create a different dynamic heading into a title bout against Liv Morgan sometime after her return.

1. Moving To SmackDown To Challenge For Interim WWE Women’s Championship

Looking at the current landscape of the WWE women’s division, Lynch could have more interesting possibilities and options on Friday Night SmackDown rather than the red brand right now.

Considering the crop of talent currently on the brand, Lynch would make for a formidable opponent for the likes of Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill, both of whom have qualified for the five-way Ladder Match to determine the new Interim WWE Women’s Champion.

With all of the old rivals and potentially new ones, Becky moving to SmackDown and immediately qualifying for that same title match offers a lot of enticing routes for stories to go moving forward.
