Becky Lynch returned to WWE last night at SummerSlam. Shortly after it was announced that Sasha Banks was not cleared to compete, Carmella was revealed as Bianca Belair’s new title challenger on the show. Before the match could begin, however, Lynch’s music hit and she promptly tossed Carmella out of the ring.
An impromptu match between Lynch and Belair then commenced. Lynch went to shake Belair’s hand, then punched her in the face and gave her The Man-Handle Slam for the quick pin. The match lasted a total of 25 seconds.
Several wrestlers and personalities from the world of wrestling sent out Tweets and social media posts in the moments following the quick match.
Comedian Ron Funches went through a range of emotions last night.
Funches also noted during a later segment that he now understood why Bianca had to be squashed in quick fashion.
