7 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE WrestleMania 38 (Night 1)

5. Echoes Of SummerSlam 2021

Who else was fooled when Becky Lynch landed that Manhandle Slam right at the start of the Raw Women's Title match? It seemed like WWE might repeat history by having 'Big Time Becks' lay Bianca out within seconds yet again. What an echo from SummerSlam 2021 that was.

The moment could've done without Belair stupidly going to shake hands with Lynch though. What is up with dumb pro wrestling babyfaces? Bianca should be fully aware of Becky's temperament and tactics by now. Going the respect route after everything they've been through didn't make sense.

However, that was a hot start.

A few fans inside AT&T Stadium were tricked into believing that the referee might count three and spell the end of Bianca's latest title push. That's what both workers wanted them to think, and they pulled off the ruse majestically.
