WWE SummeSlam 2022 Full Results – July 30, 2022
Bianca Belair (c) Vs. Becky Lynch – RAW Women’s Championship
Despite having the upperhand several times, Lynch could never put down Belair for good, and with the two up on the ropes, Lynch’s attempted Manhandle Slam was countered by Belair, who flipped her over and then hit a KOD to end things.
Winner: Bianca Belair
After the match, however, things got a bit chaotic. With Lynch taking in the loss, she extended a hand to Belair, with the two superstars shaking hands before uniting in a hug.
As Belair went on to celebrate, she was interrupted by the surprise return of Bayley, a superstar who has been away from WWE for nearly a full year after suffering an ACL tear last June. With the crowd already shocked, Bayley then welcomed out none other than Dakota Kai, seemingly back with the WWE, and Io Shirai.
Just as the trio was ready to get into the ring, though, Becky Lynch returned, and the pair were able to scare off the trio before they departed.
