In turn, Banks was replaced by former Champion Carmella. A visibly displeased Belair vowed to take her frustration out on Carmela before the music of Lynch hit. The crowd went wild, as ‘The Man‘ appeared.
She walked to the ring and soaked in the energy from the crowd. Lynch promptly attacked and kicked Carmella out of the ring as a loud “Becky” chant broke out.
Lynch then took the mic and offered herself as The EST’s new opponent. Belair accepted and the match was underway. Lynch extended her hand for a handshake but punched Belair instead.
Lynch quickly hit the Manhandle Slam and pinned Bianca. 1-2-3 and Lynch defeated Belair to win her fifth Women’s Championship in WWE. The fans were shocked, to say the least.

Lynch had to give up on her RAW Women’s Championship last year as she took a sabbatical from WWE. She relinquished the title to Asuka on RAW as she was expecting her first child with Seth Rollins.
Their daughter Roux was born in December, and the couple got married earlier this year. Since then, the rumors of her return have been doing the rounds.
