WWE SummerSlam 2022: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best
1. Raw Women's Title: Bianca Belair (c) Vs. Becky Lynch
Result: Bianca drilled Becky with a K.O.D. to retain the strap (15:10).
Rating: Despite falling a little short of their WrestleMania match and suffering from some sloppiness in the early going, this was a thrilling way to kick the show off - the sort of brutal, energetic opener that gets the crowd immediately fired up. The K.O.D. on the floor was especially savage.
Bianca and Becky have superb in-ring chemistry and played off that perfectly throughout, attempting to shut down each other's most potent offense - or in Becky's case, use Bianca's hair against her.
It all led to a strong ending that compounded this was an epic, thoroughly entertaining opener that didn't need to be 30 minutes long to get its point across or tell a gripping story. One of the best SummerSlam openers in recent memory, for sure. 8/10
