Becky Lynch Returns On WWE Raw, Attacks Bianca Belair
Raw Women's Champion gets revenge on her WrestleMania 38 opponent for injury.
A "fractured voice box" couldn't keep Becky Lynch away from Raw for more than a week, as The Man returned Monday night to seek revenge against Bianca Belair.
Lynch suffered the apparent injury during a house show a couple of weeks ago at the hands of Belair, with Big Time Becks posting a photo from her hospital bed and saying that Belair tried to rob her of her most powerful weapon: the spoken word. WWE decided to incorporate it into the storyline, with Lynch missing Raw last week, but continuing online to rail against Bianca using her braid as a whip, and Belair reminding Becky that she started it by grabbing her hair in the first place.
Monday night, Belair defeated Doudrop in what felt like their 10th match this year (it was only the seventh time they've shared a ring on TV this year). Afterwards, Lynch appeared at ringside and ambushed her. She wrapped a steel chair around Belair and rammed her into the steel ring post, knocking Bianca out.

WWE would post an update later on indicating that Belair had "suffered trauma to the throat," which Lynch would call "karma."
Consider the difference between the two women's title feuds, with Becky and Bianca sharing the screen for about a minute the last two weeks and things feeling hot, while Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey had a lengthy, pre-taped brawl backstage on SmackDown that followed an in-ring segment
