WWE News & Rumor Roundup: Multi-time champion will not return, Massive name done with the company, The Rock shares heartwarming video
Greetings and welcome to yet another edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's WWE News Roundup. Today, we will cover some exciting topics related to top names like former WWE Champion The Rock, Becky Lynch, and Ricochet.
Two major names who have not re-signed with WWE recently are Becky Lynch and Ricochet. While Lynch's contract expired earlier this month, there was speculation that she would sign a new deal with the company within a few days. Apart from that, former US Champion Ricochet also chose not to continue with WWE and has been written off TV after being attacked by Bron Breakker on RAW last week.
#1. The Rock shares a heartwarming clip of him with his daughters
Apart from being one of the biggest names in Hollywood and wrestling, The Rock is also a dad, a responsibility that he doesn't take lightly. The Brahma Bull recently shared a heart-touching video of him 'celebrating' Father's Day with his children. He recounted how they barged into his office at 6 a.m. and told him they had a surprise for him.
The Rock made his return to WWE this year at WrestleMania 40, where he teamed up with Roman Reigns to face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. He pinned Rhodes and also confronted him on the RAW after WrestleMania. It is being speculated that he is likely to return around WrestleMania 41 and will face Cody Rhodes at the show.
#2. Becky Lynch has still not re-signed with WWE
When The Man Becky Lynch did not re-sign with the Stamford-based promotion there was a lot of speculation regarding her future. Many believed that she might have let her contract run out but would sign a new deal with the company soon enough. However, that has not happened, and the former Women's Champion is currently a free agent.

Lynch lost the Women's Championship to Liv Morgan at King & Queen of the Ring. She also lost her rematch with Morgan on RAW that week. The Man had allegedly wanted some time off after WrestleMania 40 but couldn't get it due to the injury of Rhea Ripley, as she had to fill in for Mami.
#3. Ricochet will not return to the company
The One and Only has chosen not to renew his contract and will leave the company officially once it expires in July. He was written of RAW after being viciously attacked by Bron Breakker and was shown leaving in an ambulance. It was rumored that the company might choose to bring him back to face Bron Breakker in his last match. However, that plan has been scrapped.
''After some talk of using Ricochet for another appearance after last week’s write-off, PW Insider now says WWE will not use Ricochet again before his contract expires.'' [H/T: Cagesideseats]
It is clear that Ricochet has already made his final appearance for the company. Unlike Becky Lynch, there is a belief that he will not re-sign and is likely to join a rival promotion upon his exit. His old rival and AEW Superstar, Will Ospreay, has commented on wanting to face Ricochet in AEW.
