Update On Becky Lynch Returning To SmackDown Live

We haven’t seen Becky Lynch since the Nov. 21 episode of SmackDown LIVE where Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, and Sarah Logan launched a surprise backstage assault on “The Irish Lasskicker” as well as Naomi.

The angle was done to write Lynch’s character off television after she was cast in WWE Studios’ The Marine 6 with The Miz and Shawn Michaels. She could return as early as this Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE as the former SmackDown Women’s Champion wrapped up filming her role on Thursday in London, England.

And that’s a wrap on my very first movie!! These last few weeks have been incredible, and spent with incredible people. Thank you to everyone involved and excited for everyone to see it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand scene. #marine6

The director of the movie, James Nunn, had heavy praise for Lynch. In a tweet, Nunn said that he felt like he “won the lottery” with Becky and that she “knew exactly when to bring the pain, the humor, and the fierce!”

Lynch was announced for WWE’s Mixed Match Challenge, which will stream live in the U.S. exclusively on Facebook on Tuesday nights beginning Jan. 16 at 10 p.m. ET/ 7 p.m. PT.
