Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair had quite the rivalry in the WWE that lasted for exactly a year. Starting with the Summerslam 2021 edition, the two buried the hatchet in Summerslam 2022 with another title match encounter. One of the most critically acclaimed and long feuds of the modern generation also ended in a respectful manner.
The two women had several encounters in their long rivalry. Becky Lynch returned from a pregnancy hiatus at SummerSlam 2021 and stunned Belair with a 26-second win to take away the Smackdown Women’s Championship. The latter took revenge at Wrestlemania 38 when she defeated Big Time Becks for the Raw Women’s Title.

Becky Lynch reflected her thoughts on feud with Bianca Belair
Recently, Becky Lynch expressed her thoughts on the long-time feud that she had with the Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair. While speaking on Ryan Satin on his Out of Character podcast, she mentioned she was thankful that the feud happened on WWE programming.
It was also a great story-telling to her with a fitting end as she stated the following, “I’m really happy with what we did because I do think that it was a beautiful end to the story. It began with a handshake at SummerSlam, it ended with a handshake at SummerSlam.”
Following the singles contest at Summerslam, Becky Lynch also stood alongside Bianca Belair against Bayley and her newly found alliance in Dakota Kai and IYO SKY. The next night, the top superstar was attacked by the heel trio, backstage. Due to this, she is currently sidelined with a shoulder injury and won’t be back for the rest of this year.
The night after Summerslam, Becky Lynch addressed the WWE Universe after being defeated twice consecutively by Bianca Belair, to take a stand for herself. She confirmed her babyface turn in that promo and also promised to be back as The Man whenever she recovers from the injury. Also, she credited Bianca Belair for pushing her hard during the rivalry that was stretched for a year.
