WWE RAW Results – August 01, 2022

Becky Lynch comes out and talks about feeling like she didn’t know who she was after losing her title at WrestleMania, but SummerSlam made her remember who she was. Becky said it was not the flashy clothes that made her, it was the pursuit of being better tomorrow that did. Becky says she separated her shoulder at SummerSlam and continued to compete for 20 minutes, and it was in pursuit of making sure WWE had the best women’s division around. Becky says she needs to give Bianca Belair proper praise and calls her to the ring.

Bianca compliments Becky’s resolve and gives her a hug, then Becky tells her to hold it down and they’ll see each other soon. Becky leaves the ring, then Bianca says she has nothing but respect for Becky and knows that some people might not understand it. Bianca remembers all of the times Becky crossed her, but she always wanted to be the best and Becky made her work for that. We cut to a backstage area where Becky Lynch is being attacked by Dakota Kai, and Bianca runs back to check on her.
