Becky Lynch reacts to the ratings boost on SmackDown

WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion soon got the news of the ratings. She reacted to the news on Twitter. Lynch, whose real name is Rebecca Quin, nicknamed herself “Ratings Rebecca.”

After severe criticisms of her title win, Lynch opened the segment by saying that she was not sorry for stealing Bianca Belair’s thunder at SummerSlam. To Lynch, timing is everything.

Bianca Belair came out and challenged Lynch for a match. But before she could respond, Carmella, Zelina Vega, and Liv Morgan all came out with their own challenge. When Bianca asked Lynch about the rematch, the latter flatly declined and left the ring.

After this, a fatal-four-way match took place to determine the number 1 contender for the title. Bianca Belair won after pinning Liv Morgan following a KOD. She has earned her future title shot. Now we have to wait and see when this match takes place.
