#1. Hope is true: How WWE kept Becky Lynch's return under wraps

Becky Lynch made her triumphant return to WWE after close to a year-and-a-half away. It happened at SummerSlam 2021, where she shockingly dethroned Bianca Belair in half a minute and became the SmackDown Women's Champion.

Although it wasn't well-received by the WWE Universe because of the treatment of Belair, it has spun off into a story of its own. Interestingly enough, the company only kept Bianca Belair and Carmella in the loop beforehand, and went out of their way to keep Becky Lynch's return under wraps, according to Fightful:

"According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, Bianca Belair and Carmella both knew about Becky Lynch's return ahead of time, and it wasn't something that was sprung upon them at the last minute. But the information was "officially" kept secret to others backstage throughout the day."

We hope this is true because it's a good way to keep any return under wraps. The company often does well with super-secretive returns. Becky Lynch's was executed well, minus the treatment of Bianca Belair.
