The first top moment for Becky Lynch in 2021 happened just before she returned. On June 29th, 2021, Seth Rollins announced that he and Lynch had been married. Lynch would only have a few weeks before the honeymoon was over and it was time to get back in the ring. Scroll down to learn Becky Lynch’s next top moment of 2021.
