Jim Ross: It Wouldn’t Feel Right If The WWE Let Becky Lynch Slip Away, They Got A Lot Of Money Invested In Her

Jim Ross gives his take on Becky Lynch.

At the beginning of June, Becky Lynch, a women’s grand slam champion in the WWE became a free agent for the first time in over a decade. The last match she wrestled was in a steel cage for the WWE Women’s World Championship where she lost to the champion, Liv Morgan on May 27. Since then, many fans have been wondering if The Man would make the jump to become Elite when she returns to the squared circle.

When asked about her free agent status on Grilling JR, this is what the legendary Jim Ross had to say about the chances of her coming to All Elite Wrestling.

“I was involved in getting Becky Lynch started in WWE back in the day, so consequently and obviously I’m a big fan of hers. She’s one of the individuals that will reach out occasionally and see how I’m feeling, things if that nature. I have great respect for her and her husband [Seth Rollins], he’s a hell of a hand too. So I don’t know anything about her contractual status. Obviously, I think we all could agree that if AEW was able to sign a talent of her level, it’s gonna help. She’s player, she’s a main-event level player. I think the world of her as a human being. You know my theory of hiring good human beings, she fits that mold perfectly. She’s terrific. But I don’t know how committed she is to being a mom. Not that she’s a good mom or bad mom, she’s obviously a great mother. But what if she wants to have more kids? That could happen. So anyway, I don’t know what she’s gonna do. I would be very shocked if the WWE let her slip away. That doesn’t feel right to me. They got a lot of money invested in her. They got her over. She’s famous, she’s a main-event level talent, she’s broken a lot of molds. So I’m a big Becky Lynch supporter, and whatever she does, I’m pulling for her. I think she’s just an amazing human being and a great mom. Seth Rollins is lucky. He out-kicked his coverage, as we say,” Ross said.
