Becky Lynch Reveals Her SummerSlam 2022 Match With Bianca Belair Almost Didn’t Happen

It appears that the final chapter in Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair’s feud almost didn’t happen.

Between SummerSlam 2021 and SummerSlam 2022, Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch would have a long term feud with multiple matches that would end at the 2022 event. However, this match almost didn’t happen according to Becky Lynch.

Lynch told Stephen A. Smith on Know Mercy that the match almost didn’t happen and Lynch stated her and Belair had to fight to get the match on the card.

“Last year, at SummerSlam, had to fight a little bit to get a women’s title match on the show. When Logan Paul has a match and Pat McAfee has a match, and Seth Rollins doesn’t have a match, he’s been working all year. Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair almost didn’t have a match, that’s a bit of a problem. Personally, and from a work ethic standpoint, you put all of this effort into this, all year round, and when the big shows come, the big stadiums come, and there are 80,000 people, you want to receive your flowers for the hard work you put in all year round so that we can do this so that we’re on TV for 52 weeks a year and just killing the game. You don’t want somebody to take your spot, not somebody who doesn’t do this all the time,”

The match of course would happen, with Becky suffering a loss and a separated shoulder on that night. After the match, Damage CTRL would form, a faction Becky has been feuding with since her return from injury.
