Becky Lynch shocked the WWE Universe by returning at SummerSlam and taking down Bianca Belair to become the newest WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion. Lynch then kicked off the following episode of SmackDown didn’t offer any apology for how swiftly she won the belt.
On Friday night, “The Man” stated that she missed the WWE Universe, and she admitted that giving up the WWE RAW Women’s Championship last year was one of the hardest things she ever had to do. Lynch went on to say that she was even more dangerous than she was before because she’s fighting for her family now. Of course, she knows that there’s been some controversy around her return and the circumstances of her victory at SummerSlam, but Lynch said she apologizes for nothing, and that all she was waiting for was an opportunity.

Belair then made her way out and challenged Lynch for another shot at the title. But , Zelina Vega, Carmella, and Liv Morgan all came to the ring, each with their own claims to a title shot. By end of it, though, Belair said that no one else had any business being in the ring, and once again challenged Lynch to a match on the show. In response, Lynch simply said “nah” and walked away.
After Lynch left, all three superstars told off by Belair attacked her, kickstarting a brawl that would then be turned into an official fatal 4-way match where the winner would earn a shot at Lynch. Of course, Belair wouldn’t be denied in this match, and she ended up coming out on top despite the efforrs of a very determined Morgan. “The EST” was simply too much for Morgan, and the KOD earned Belair the victory, so she will face Lynch again after all.
WHAT. A. BATTLE.
