WWE has seen a massive influx of successful female talents in the company in the last decade. Many women in WWE have made their presence known in the company and we have seen women wrestlers break new ground in WWE and reach new heights.

Many have even done it while being a mother. Here is a list of five current and past WWE stars who made in-ring returns after becoming mothers.

The first person on our list is none other than ‘The Man’ herself, Becky Lynch. She was at the pinnacle of her career in 2019-2020 when she left it all behind to become a mother. She even relinquished the Raw Women’s Championship in May 2020 so that she could go home and deal with her pregnancy and childbirth.

But that didn’t mean she completely sidelined her WWE career after giving birth to her daughter, Roux. She came back 15 months later and in no time once again started dominating the scene as though she had never left.

Asuka

The second name on our list is Asuka. She is also a mom. Fans don’t know much about her as she has done a fabulous job keeping her personal life out of the radar. The only available information on her motherhood is from an interview featuring Lynch.

An interesting thing is that when Lynch renounced her title, she gave it to Asuka. Lynch was happy and content with her decision as ‘The Empress of Tomorrow’ was a mom herself, and she admired her for being a working mother.

Ronda Rousey

Another supermom who returned to the ring recently after giving birth is Ronda Rousey. She announced her pregnancy on her official YouTube channel in April 2021. She was four months pregnant around that time.

Rousey welcomed the birth of her daughter, La’akea Makalapuaokalanipō Browne, on September 27, 2021. Five months later, she returned to action in January 2022 and won the Royal Rumble.

And then two years later, she welcomed her second child, a son, in August 2020. Two years later, she again returned to in-ring action.

Just like her twin sister, Brie, Nikki Bella, returned to in-ring action after giving birth to her first child, Matteo Artemovich Chigvintsev. She returned alongside her sister, competing in the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble match. Raising a child and focusing on a career is no simple job, but these five female superstars have proved that nothing is impossible if you possess will and sheer determination.
