Tue May 13 04:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Becky Lynch Returns to WWE, Feud with Protégé Ignites

**Los Angeles, CA** – Becky Lynch, the celebrated WWE Superstar, has returned to the ring after a near-year absence, marked by a whirlwind of events including a WrestleMania tag team victory and a subsequent explosive feud with her protégé, Lyra Valkyria.

Lynch’s hiatus, initially planned as a three-month break, extended due to filming commitments for “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” and “Happy Gilmore 2.” Her WrestleMania return saw her and Valkyria win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, a victory orchestrated by Lynch’s strategic attack on rival Bayley. Lynch, however, revealed that her relationship with Bayley, a fellow member of the “Four Horsewomen,” was never as close as fans believed, citing a long-standing professional rivalry.

The celebratory mood quickly soured. The newly crowned tag team champions lost their titles the very next night on “Monday Night Raw” due to Valkyria’s mistake. This ignited a fierce feud between mentor and protégé, culminating in a title match between Lynch and Valkyria at “Backlash” for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Lynch, calling herself the “greatest female professional wrestler of all time,” expressed her extreme disappointment in Valkyria’s performance and lack of gratitude. The conflict centers around Valkyria’s perceived arrogance and ingratitude, prompting Lynch to vow to reclaim her dominance in the ring.

Beyond the wrestling world, Lynch’s time off involved starring roles in the upcoming “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” series and “Happy Gilmore 2,” showcasing her acting talent honed by a theatre arts degree and previous roles including a stint on “Vikings.” Lynch shared anecdotes from both sets, highlighting the collaborative spirit and professionalism of the casts, notably praising Adam Sandler’s leadership on the “Happy Gilmore 2” set. She also revealed a brief but pleasant interaction with AEW wrestler MJF during filming. Lynch’s multifaceted career continues to thrive, as she balances her wrestling comeback with promising ventures in Hollywood.
