Bianca Belair Defeats Becky Lynch to Win the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 38
Bianca Belair finally got her revenge on Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 38, defeating “Big Time Becks” for the Raw Women’s Championship.
The final moments came when a desperate Becky Lynch attempted to hoist “The EST” for a top rope Manhandle Slam, only for Belair to backflip out of it and nail the KOD for the win.
The history between Lynch and Belair goes all the way back to SummerSlam 2021, when Lynch made her surprise return from hiatus and challenged “The EST” to an impromptu title match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Lynch then turned heel, nailed Belair with a cheap shot and pinned Belair to win the title in less than 30 seconds.
Lynch would then cement her heel status over the following months, repeatedly cheating to retain her title and eventually forcing Belair out of the title picture (the two both moved to Raw thanks to the WWE Draft).
Belair finally got another shot at Lynch at Elimination Chamber in February, defeating five other women to become No. 1 contender. She then thwarted Lynch’s attempt at cutting off her signature braid and gave Lynch a new haircut in the process.
