#2. Was it fair to push down Bianca Belair for Becky Lynch’s return at WWE SummerSlam 2021?
There were several surprises during WWE SummerSlam 2021. Most notably, Brock Lesnar returned and confronted Roman Reigns after the Universal Champion defeated John Cena.
Becky Lynch also made an unexpected return at the show when she wrestled for the first time since WWE WrestleMania 36.
The Man challenged Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women's Championship, and it took Lynch less than a minute to defeat Belair and win the gold.
The victory was a big one for the returning main-eventer, but it came at the expense of one of WWE's brightest stars.
Was it the right call to immediately put Lynch over Belair in such a short match? Did The EST deserve better after she carried the SmackDown women's roster for most of the year?
Belair had a great year in 2021, and she made a name for herself during her run with the title. But a squash at the hands of The Man really affected The EST's value for the rest of the year.
Should WWE have waited a few weeks before giving Lynch a title victory? This alternative decision could have protected Belair from such a crushing loss.
