on

– The post-SummerSlam edition of WWE RAW opens live on the USA Network as Jimmy Smith welcomes us to the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. He’s joined at ringside by Corey Graves and Byron Saxton. The crowd is already fired up.

– We go right to the ring and out first comes Becky Lynch as Mike Rome does the introduction. Lynch comes out with her arm in a sling. We see a video package of highlights from Lynch’s SummerSlam loss to RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair. We also see their post-match embrace, then the returns of Bayley, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky, and their face-off with Lynch and Belair.

Fans chant “Becky!” now. She welcomes Houston to the Big Time and they pop again. Lynch says she gives it her all in everything she does, and she’s talked about hitting rock bottom and losing her way when she lost her title before, but she’s happy to say she found who she was at SummerSlam, and it’s not with the fancy clothes or the constant need of validation or glory, it’s in the persistence, the relentless performance, owning every mistake she’s ever made, the pursuit to being better than she was yesterday. And so when she separated her should on Saturday night, she had two choices – give up or give it everything she had, and so she grit her teeth and fought through 20 of the most painful minutes of her career, it wasn’t as painful as the realization that she’d become separated from reality.

Lynch goes on about creating the best women’s division ever, for the women who work hard each week, so when the referee counted 3, she knew she gave her best, but it wasn’t enough that night. She knows she is not defined by any match, she defines the match, and she is not defined by any title, she defines the title, and she will not be defined by any man, she defines The Man. She says we start a new era, a new comeback story, and it starts now. But she wants to give thanks to the woman who has pushed her every week for the last year. Lynch calls Belair to the ring.

Belair comes to the ring to a pop. She stops on the apron and fans cheer her on, and chant “EST!” now. Belair enters and declares Lynch to be The Man. They hug in the middle of the ring. Lynch tells Belair to hold it down, and she will see her soon. Lynch drops the mic and exits the ring as fans chant her name. Belair knows people question how she has respect for Lynch, and Belair hasn’t forgotten how Lynch did what she did, but she has never wanted to be handed anything, and the title is only worth the amount of work she’s willing to put in, and Lynch made her work for it.

Belair goes on about the mutual respect and says it means something. She goes on about how she won’t be caught slipping until the camera suddenly cuts backstage to Bayley, Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai. They are standing over a hurt Lynch, who has been attacked with a steel chair. Belair rushes to the back from the ring as Bayley, Sky and Kai retreat. Belair and officials check on Lynch to end the segment.
