WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair met for their contract signing on the show tonight. The Man squashed Belair in under thirty seconds to win the title at SummerSlam and has been avoiding a rematch ever since. However, Becky Lynch can no longer escape the title bout after tonight’s contract signing.

It is good that the champion used her controversial title victory to draw more heat and simultaneously put Belair over as the top babyface. The latter admitted that she wasn’t prepared at SummerSlam, but she won’t repeat the same mistakes again. She looked more composed and did not allow Becky Lynch to ruffle her feathers on WWE SmackDown.

However, it was surprising to see that the entire segment was conducted rather peacefully. We may be used to violent contract signings, but it would be fair to say that it looked odd when a heel champion and a face challenger were not involved in an altercation.

Unless WWE SmackDown are planning to expose Becky Lynch’s vulnerability or Sasha Banks’ potential addition to the feud, we really hope that both superstars will be involved in more intense segments in the weeks leading up to their title rematch at Extreme Rules.
