Following her shock return at last night's WWE SummerSlam PPV, Becky Lynch has now made her (albeit brief) first post-SummerSlam comments.

Keeping it short and sweet, the new SmackDown Women's Champion declared to Kayla Braxton that "The Man is back, and it feels good".

For those who missed it, Becky ended up facing Bianca Belair in a one-on-one match for the SmackDown Women's Title last night.

How did that come about? Well, it was announced that Sasha Banks - Belair's advertised opponent - was unable to compete, which prompted Carmella to come out and be named as Sasha's replacement. Before that match could get started, Lynch made her surprise return, laid out Carmella, then threw down the challenge to the E.S.T. - a challenge that was accepted.

While the return of Becky Lynch was obviously hugely well received, what was not so well received by some was how Lynch defeated Belair in just a matter of seconds; landing a punch on her opponent before getting the 1-2-3 with the Man-Handle Slam.

Since then, Becky has also taken to Twitter to reiterate that, yep, she is indeed back.
