WWE fans went through a rollercoaster of emotions on Saturday night during SummerSlam. Midway through the show Bianca Belair arrived for her SmackDown Women's Championship match with Sasha Banks, only to be told that "The Boss" would be unavailable to compete. Carmella was then announced as Banks' replacement, only for Becky Lynch to suddenly arrive and beat down the former champion. She then asked Belair for a title match and the "The EST" accepted. And while fans inside Allegiant Stadium were thrilled over the match announcement, they were shocked when Lynch won the match mere seconds later by hitting two moves.

Fans' joy over Lynch's arrival suddenly turned to anger, as the loss completely derailed Belair's first reign as champion (which kicked off in major fashion in the main event of WrestleMania 37 back in April). You can see some of the biggest reactions below:

Good Question

Serious question: If Becky vacated the Raw Championship, what did she do to earn a shot at the SmackDown Championship? 🤔#SummerSlam

Never Good to Get WrestleMania IX Comparisons

Pleased to see Becky Lynch back.

But all I know is that even as an 8 year old, I felt nothing but pain at Hulk Hogan just coming in and weirdly taking my guy's belt like that. Bianca Belair felt like an inspirational figure, much like Bret Hart. Not mega sure that was the move.

Derailed

So you telling me as a way to compete with Punk’s return WWE decided to have Becky Lynch bury Bianca Belair. The same Bianca Belair that lasted 57mins in the royal rumble and WON….the same woman who made history as one of the first two black women to main event a WrestleMania?
