As Becky Lynch prepares to make her return to WWE’s “Summer’s Biggest Party,” she reflects on her memorable experiences at the event, expressing how stunning it has been for her to be away from SummerSlam for three years. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, the current WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion recounted key milestones in her career.
Lynch shared that her first Pay-Per-Event (PLE) at SummerSlam included the unforgettable slap that significantly impacted her career. She also reflected on her return to wrestling after having her daughter, defeating Bianca Bella in just 26 seconds. A year later, they both teamed up to put on an electrifying performance.
After a three-year hiatus from SummerSlam, Lynch is set to return this weekend in a high-stakes title defense. She will defend the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship in a no-disqualification match against her former protégé, Laila Valkyria, marking the climax of their intense rivalry.
Ahead of their no-disqualification match at SummerSlam, Lynch and Valkyria will also face off as part of opposing teams in an eight-woman tag team match on Monday’s Go Home episode of Nightrow. Lynch will team up with Women’s World Champions Naomi and The Secret Harbis, while Valkyria aligns with Realipley, Iyo Sky, and Nikki Bella, giving fans a final taste of their fierce competition.
