Bianca Belair retained the Raw Women's Championship following a hard-fought victory over Becky Lynch in the opening match of WWE SummerSlam. It all went down at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday, July 30. The EST of WWE and Big Time Becks kicked off the show with a match that didn't quite top their WrestleMania match but came pretty darn close. The two women beat the absolute crap out of each other but, ultimately, it was Belair who prevailed in her home state.

The finish came when Bianca countered Lynch's attempt at a Man-handle Slam off the second rope into a Spanish Fly and followed up with a KOD for the 1-2-3.

After the bell, Becky interrupted Belair's celebrations and extended an olive branch to the victorious champ. Belair hesitantly accepted and the two women embraced in the middle of the ring .... but the segment didn't end there.

Bayley's music rang out around the stadium as Lynch's fellow Horsewoman strolled down the aisle toward the ring. Bayley stopped at the top of the aisle and was joined by NXT stalwarts Dakota Kai and Io Shirai. The three women entered the ring and confronted Belair, but Lynch appeared at Belair's side, forcing Bayley and her new allies to back off and leave the ring.

As you might recall, Bianca Belair ended Becky Lynch's reign as Raw Women's Champion at this year's WrestleMania, which went down at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday, April 2. Lynch won the SmackDown Women's Championship from Belair at the previous year's SummerSlam but became Raw Women's Champion when she swapped titles with Charlotte Flair during a disastrous segment following the 2021 WWE draft back in October.

Congratulations to the EST!
