Becky Lynch kicked off WWE SmackDown: Friday 27th, 2021. She came out to the ring with the SmackDown Women’s title over her shoulder while the crowd erupted, chanting her name.
She entered the ring and addressed the crowd. It was obvious she would bring up what happened at SummerSlam 2021. However, before that, she told them exactly who she was now that she’s back.

She revealed that when she gave up the Raw Women’s Championship a year and a half ago, it was extremely difficult. Since then she has worked every day to get back on top, and now that she’s back, she will be unstoppable.
Moreover, The Man let the WWE Universe know that previously she was ruthless and she was only fighting for herself. However, she has chnaged her priorities and now she’s fighting for more than just herself, and hence, she will be absolutely deadly.
Finally, bringing up SummerSlam 2021, she had only one thing to say – “I would like to take this time to say I’m sorry, for absolutely nothing. I have been in WWE long enough to know everything is about timing.”
