Slimmer’s Rating: N/R – It’s great to have Lynch back, but this was absolutely the wrong way for Belair to lose the title. I understand why WWE wants the title on Lynch, but having her win the title like this makes it seems like a fluke instead of a return to dominance. Belair should have destroyed Carmella, and then Lynch should have returned to start a feud that would eventually lead to her winning the title in a real match at a future PPV.
