Eric Bischoff on Becky Lynch taking a hiatus from WWE
On a recent episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff speculated the reason behind Becky Lynch wanting to take a hiatus from WWE and wrestling in particular. Bischoff believes that The Man might be looking to devote some time to her family.
The former RAW General Manager also added that since Becky Lynch was a beloved performer, fans would readily embrace her whenever she chose to step back into the limelight.
"I know that they travel. Becky and Seth get to travel with their child. So that makes it easier but there still a part of your life and part of your child's childhood that you kind of don't want to miss. being on the road, you're gonna miss some of that, even if you're together. So, it wouldn't surprise me a bit. And I think you're absolutely 100 percent on the money. I think the relationship is there and Becky's star status is firmly entrenched. So she can afford to step away for three, four, or five months or six months or a year because guess what will happen when she's gone? Anticipation. Absence makes the heart grow fonder," Eric Bischoff said.
Becky Lynch's most recent match came on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, where she failed to capture the Women's World Championship from Liv Morgan in a Steel Cage Match.
