#5 Becky Lynch returning at WrestleMania 37 in a special segment

One of the biggest rumors heading into WrestleMania 37 was the return of former RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch. She announced her pregnancy last year on RAW and delivered her baby in December 2020.

Ahead of WrestleMania 37, it was reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that there could have been plans for Becky Lynch to return at the Show of Shows and interrupt Bayley.

“If they add a Bayley talk segment to 'Mania, that would likely be Lynch’s return as the idea of her driving a big truck in at one of the two 'Mania shows during a Bayley talk show segment is something we were told was being planned at one point. That also explains Bayley seemingly not booked for the show after a year when she was women’s MVP.”

Becky Lynch herself kept teasing a return on her social media. Interestingly, Night 2 of WrestleMania 37 had a segment where Bayley interrupted the hosts, Titus O'Neil and Hulk Hogan. Fans got excited, thinking The Man would return. However, it was the Bella Twins who appeared and took out Bayley.
