WWE: Backstage note on creative plans for former champion despite continued absence - Reports
According to the latest reports, WWE has creatively planted seeds for Becky Lynch's return for the upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW.
Despite her absence from WWE TV, The Man was a high draft pick and the first female to be chosen by RAW. She is set to return this week after recovering from a minor leg injury.
She was last seen facing Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the Women's Tag Team Championship. Trish Stratus replaced Becky Lynch's tag team partner Lita for the bout, and Morgan's roll-up eventually defeated the Hall of Famer.
Following the fight, Stratus turned on Lynch and delivered a "Chick Kick," solidifying the legend's heel turn.
Some of the preliminary creative plans for Monday Night RAW tapings have been revealed to Fightful. The reports suggest that the company had sowed numerous "Missing" posters for Becky Lynch made to help further the storyline between herself and Trish Stratus.

Dutch Mantell shared one major problem with Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch's WWE feud
Wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell recently suggested that WWE should have patiently awaited until a premium live event to schedule Trish Stratus' betrayal of Becky Lynch.
While speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, the veteran said that the consequences should have been superior, with Stratus taking something emotional from Lynch.
"They had time to set this up. Instead of having her turn on the TV, which is not a bad place, it'd wait for a pay-per-view to do it... And then take something that's important to Becky; take it away from her. I don't know what it would be, but let's just wait," Mantell said.
