WWE Results: Former champion replaces injured Bianca Belair in title match against Becky Lynch, AJ Styles returns to action (March 19, 2022)

WWE recently hosted a star-studded live event in Springfield, Illinois this weekend. There were only two title matches scheduled for the night but the show featured a big return.

Becky Lynch put her RAW Women's Championship on the line against Rhea Ripley. She was originally scheduled to face Bianca Belair but the latter was recently ruled out of action due to a throat injury.

As a result, Big Time Becks locked horns with The Nightmare and the two superstars delivered an entertaining match. Lynch successfully defended her title with the help of a dirty pinfall. Following the match, she offered to shake hands with Ripley but the latter responded by dropping the champion.

Another title match scheduled for the show saw Finn Balor successfully defend his United States Championship against Damian Priest. However, The Prince retained his gold via DQ.

The two have been feuding ever since Balor dethroned Priest as the champion on WWE RAW. The title loss prompted Priest's heel turn on the red brand.

Additionally, the show saw AJ Styles make a huge return. The Phenomenal One has been away from WWE television since falling victim to Edge's brutal assault on 28 February edition of RAW. He is now expected to return to the red brand this week and extend his feud with the Rated-R Superstar.
