Becky Lynch returns to face multiple challenges
After Becky Lynch’s unexpected return at SummerSlam, The Man returned to SmackDown. The new SmackDown women’s champion did not apologize for her rather “behind-the-scenes” tactics in an impromptu match against Bianca Belair, which saw her regaining the blue brand title.
