Becky Lynch was one of the top ten highest-paid WWE wrestlers in 2020. She was the only woman from active in-ring competitors from the WWE roster to make it to the list who was earning a whopping $3.1 Million Dollars, per year. But The Man chose to become The Mom and go into a hiatus, leaving all this glory behind her.
After declaring his pregnancy news, Becky Lynch has to go away from the public for a while. She didn’t reveal when or how she will be back but she did mention that it was just a pause in her career. With that being said, the question remains whether WWE is still keeping her under the lucrative money deal or trimmed her down for going away from the brand, for sometimes.

If the recent reports are any indications then WWE is apparently cutting her checks even after she is gone. During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer addressed the speculation that WWE wasn’t going to pay Becky Lynch during the hiatus. If his below comments are any hints then WWE will continue to pay her as well as release new merchandise for this year.
“As far as I know, and I don’t know different, she’s gonna get her downside and they are gonna sell merchandise for her for the year and you know they are going to market her for a year. She won’t be able to wrestle for a year and whether she comes back, I mean none of us know.”
Jim Cornette blasted Becky Lynch over the fact that she opted to be The Mom instead of remaining The Man and thus giving up millions of dollars in the process. He even mentioned her as an “Easy Bake Oven”, as well. But it seems like Becky Lynch will continue getting paid at least to some extent, if not the full amount of money she owes through her WWE contract that was renewed, last year.
The report from Meltzer also noted that WWE “has the right to freeze her contract.” If any of the superstars are forced to go into hiatus, the company has the right to do it which would extend the validity of the contract to the timespan the concerned superstar would be out.
However, Becky Lynch needs not to be bothered by it as he is still getting enough WWE money. She has done a lot in her career for the past couple of years through which she can enjoy pay off via royalties.
