Current Events Is Linlin Defeated (as at the End of Chapter 1039)?
Possible, sure.
But you always have to remember one thing: It's still Oda (who loves to drag stuff out), there are in fact some plot-lines open (her Elbaf connection, her good O-Lin side, Luffy declaring that HE will beat all emperors etc.) and the editors are simply full of crap.
I would really say chances are 50:50, but only because she's an important player and bc of all the buildup. Would be definitely out with this chapter if not for all those points.
Totally forgot about this one.
The more I think about it, the more I hope she isn't out yet (only for storytelling purposes). There are just so many loose ends that Oda has to cover with her.
If she's now out for good, Oda teased a shitton of stuff just to never pick up on it again ... that's not exactly great writing.

I'm not against Law/Kidd beating her, make no mistake here.
Luffy declaring that he'll beat all emperors is the weakest argument for sure.
What let's me hesitate a bit are the totally unsolved Carmel/split personality situation, which simply HAS to be resolved at one point and the simple flow of the fight (I don't know how to put it, it somehow just went too smoothly for Kidd/Law).

I dont think she is defeated per say.
Reasons being:
1) She only needed 1 year to power-up against the duo. What is stopping her from using 5, 10+ years of her life to get back up?
2) Big meme is known for waking up right after getting knocked out. Thing of queen vs olin, WCI cake scene, etc.
3) Seeing an eye-roll is not a definitive diagnose for getting KO. Kidd was shown with the eye-roll and went back up 2 panels after.

I could honestly see a scenario where she gets up, but is severly damaged from Kid's last attack. I think it at that point it would be an all out conq clash between kid and big mom(Maybe a flashback for one of them?). I think it's something Oda has alluded to during the previous chapters. Notice how oda has made it clear that law is done after this attack, and even before this point you could tell Law was going to reach that point. However, he hasn't done the same for kid. We also know kid has conq haki because it was introduced at the beginning of Wano. Of course this is all speculation and the beam could have destroyed big mom, but I feel like Oda could have more in store for this fight.
@PuckTheGreat is it true the title of the chapter translates to the "last performance"?
i mean that could be a clearly sign
