#2 Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women's Championship - WWE Extreme Rules

Becky Lynch wrestled her first proper pay-per-view match in over a year at Extreme Rules, as she and Bianca Belair delivered well. The two meshed perfectly together, especially with a great story being told.

Lynch did well as the heel veteran who tried everything to get an advantage over the younger challenger, but Belair always had an answer. Her power was on full display, as she did not allow The Man to escape with the win. At least until external forces intervened.

The EST of WWE was about to successfully counter the Dis-Arm-Her into the KOD, but Sasha Banks ran in to attack her. The Boss made her WWE return at Extreme Rules, causing this match to end in a disqualification.

While this finish is usually annoying, the company did well with this booking decision. Banks' return further spices up the issue between Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair, while the two competitors remain strong. The action was good enough for the match to be fondly remembered before the run-in.
