Becky Lynch Stuns Fans: Why She’s Skipping WWE Crown Jewel in Australia
Becky Lynch won’t be making the long trip to Perth, Australia, for WWE Crown Jewel 2025—and while fans quickly started buzzing about possible drama, the real reason is a lot simpler than it seems.
On the October 6 episode of RAW, “The Man” revealed she needed some time to “re-evaluate.” That instantly set off speculation about her future. Was it storyline? Was something bigger happening behind the scenes?
Not quite. According to Sean Ross Sapp, Lynch is simply taking a short break because she isn’t booked for the premium live event. In other words, no need to panic—this isn’t a major hiatus, just some well-earned time off.

“It’s just her taking those shows off because she’s not on the card,” Sapp explained. “There’s no reason to put her on a 22-hour flight when she’s not wrestling.”
The brutal travel schedule to Australia was also a factor. With nearly two days lost to back-and-forth flying, WWE isn’t sending talent who aren’t essential to the show.
So, what’s next for Becky? Fans won’t have to wait long—she’s expected back on RAW in just a couple of weeks.
Her last appearance saw her shockingly lose to Maxxine Dupri via countout, giving Dupri the biggest win of her career. Afterward, Becky told Seth Rollins that she wouldn’t be heading to Crown Jewel—a line many thought tied into her storyline. Now, we know the truth: Becky is just recharging before her next big chapter.
