After months of reporting and speculation on the future of Becky Lynch, it is safe to say that the door is wide open for her eventual return to the business.

The former Women's World Champion hasn't been seen in WWE since May when she lost a steel cage match against Liv Morgan, thanks to a little assist from 'Dirty Dom' Mysterio. During a forum at the Vulture Festival Sunday night in Los Angeles The Man finally gave fans a definitive update on whether or not that was her final match in WWE - according to those in attendance.

“If you think I’m gonna go out with Dominik slamming a cage door in my face, that’s definitely not gonna happen.”

That brief statement was the first public comment from Lynch herself on a potential return to WWE - or a debut for another promotion - since her contract with the company expired over the summer. It comes on the heels of PWInsider's report last week that there are those within WWE and Netflix that expect The Man to return to the ring in time for the first Raw of the new year.

What exactly Lynch's next run in WWE would look like remains a mystery. Including whether it would be an abbreviated run for WrestleMania season or if she'd be back as a full-time competitor for an extended stay.

Lynch did not provide any details on when or where she'll return to action, but did tell fans that she's remained very busy during her recent hiatus and has been happy working on other projects.

The wait continues.
