Becky Lynch made her long-awaited return to WWE programming at tonight's SummerSlam pay-per-view, as she replaced Sasha Banks in the SmackDown Women's Championship Match against Bianca Belair.

Originally, it appeared as though Carmella was set to replace Sasha, but Becky made a surprise entrance, causing the WWE Universe to erupt in approval.

Becky would then defeat Bianca Belair to capture the SmackDown Women's Championship.
