Becky Lynch reflects on her WWE SummerSlam return in 2021 when she defeated Bianca Belair in a matter of seconds.
WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch recently sat down with Rick Ucchino of Sports Illustrated. When asked about her rivalry with Bianca Belair, which kicked off at SummerSlam 2021 and culminated in a big way at WrestleMania 38, Lynch said she believes some fans missed the point of her return at SummerSlam.
“I remember the eruption when Bianca won, and she won in such a cool way,” Becky Lynch recalled. “Not the slickest victory of all-time, but maybe like one of the slickest victories, you know, she back flipped out of the Rock Bottom [Manhandle Slam] into the K-O-D. That was pretty special, too. It was the exact outcome you wanted.
“You wanted to root for Bianca, you wanted to hate me, you wanted to feel like she was robbed and had something to come back from. And she did. And we had a wonderful story for a full year. I think if you’re still looking back at (SummerSlam 2021) as unfavorable, you kind of missed the story of it, you know?”
Lynch will return to SummerSlam this weekend, defending the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Lyra Valkyria.
WrestleZone will have coverage of WWE SummerSlam later this weekend.
