Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring with her arm in a sling

We take a look back at the Raw Women's Title Match from SummerSlam.

Becky takes in the cheers from the fans and she welcomes everyone.  Becky says in everything that she does, she gives her all.  She talked about hitting rock bottom and not knowing who she was when she lost the title at Wrestlemania.  At SummerSlam, she remembered who the hell she is.  It ain't in the fancy clothes or need for validation or glory.  It is in the performance and owning up for every mistake you made.  It is about being better than you were yesterday.  

When I separated my shoulder, I had two choices. I could give up or give everything I had.  I grit my teeth and fought through twenty minutes of pain and it hurt to realize how separated I was from reality.  We tried to create the greatest women's division.  For all of those women who work their asses off in the back.  When the referee counted to three with my shoulders flat to the mat, I gave my best but my best wasn't good enough.  I am not defined by one match, I define the match.  I am not defined by any title, I define the title.  I will not be defined by any man, I define the man.  So we start a new era and comeback story and it starts now.

First, I want to credit and thanks to the woman who has pushed her every week for the last year to be the BEST I could be.  Becky tells Bianca to come out to the ring.

Bianca Belair makes her way to the ring.   

Bianca tells Becky that she not only defines the man, but she is the man.    

They shake hands and hug.

Becky tells B to hold it down and she will be back soon.  

Becky leaves the ring.

Bianca says she has nothing but respect for Becky Lynch.  I know some people are questioning why that is happening because I remember how many times she shook my hand, only to slap me with the other one.  I have never wanted to be handed anything.  This title is about working to keep it and Becky made me work for it.  I shook Becky's hand because there is mutual respect and to gain respect from Becky Lynch, that means something.  I have learned so much from her and I know there is a target on my back and I will not let it slip.  That is why I am the Raw Women's Champion.  

I stay ready for whoever is next whether it is Bayley or who friends who thought it was nice to surprise me on Saturday.

We see Becky Lynch in the back and she has been attacked by Bayley, Iyo Sky, and Dakota Kai.

Bianca leaves the ring and runs to the back to check on Becky.  

The announcers run through what we are going to see tonight.

We have a video for the United States Championship, narrated by John Layfield.

We go to comments from Logan Paul earlier today and he says he signed a multi-year, mult-event contract with WWE.  He says he wants more and when he gets in the ring, it will be massive.

Seth welcomes everyone.  He says tonight is a night of celebration.  We don't have to see and we don't have to hear that idiot, Riddle.  I'll give credit where it is due for Riddle to show up when he is not cleared and call Seth out.  There is a line between gutsy and stupid and Riddle has crossed the stupid line more than he can count.  There is a silver lining.  Riddle has wanted so badly to be like Randy.  Now he is on the shelf with an injury, just like Randy.  Seth cackles.

There is another silver lining as well.  Now that Riddle is out of the picture, I can turn my attention to Roman Reigns and the Undisputed Championship.
