SummerSlam saw 'The Man' Becky Lynch's gigantic return that thrilled the WWE Universe. Becky Lynch is a multi-time Women's Champion and is one of only five female wrestlers to ever main event WrestleMania.

Lynch's return was booked in an extremely surprising manner. Sasha Banks vs. Bianca Belair was supposed to happen for the SmackDown Women's Championship. However, Sasha Banks was not able to attend the event, so WWE needed to find a new challenger for Bianca Belair.

Belair and Carmella appeared ready to start their match, but boom! Becky Lynch's entrance music started playing. It felt just like Royal Rumble 2019, where she shockingly entered the match and won it. The crowd at SummerSlam went wild. Becky Lynch made her way into the ring and proceeded to take Carmella out.

After Becky Lynch took Carmella out, she challenged Belair to a match for the SmackDown Women's championship, and Belair was defeated in under 30 seconds. This was a strong signal that Becky Lynch is still at the peak of her push.

Becky Lynch is the new SmackDown Women's Champion. It seems like 'The Man' is finally back for another great run in WWE. Her return at SummerSlam 2021 will be remembered for years to come. We may see "The Irish Lass Kicker' become "Becky two-belts" again.
