Becky Lynch aims for two titles at SummerSlam, eyeing both her Women’s Intercontinental Championship and possibly a second belt at the major event. The Irish superstar discussed her ambitions and the buzz around her dual-title prospects while WWE fans reflected on her past “Becky Two Belts” triumphs.
Becky Lynch Looks to Repeat History at SummerSlam
Currently holding the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, Becky Lynch has indicated she may pursue a second championship at SummerSlam, recalling her iconic run as “Becky Two Belts.” Lynch is set to defend her Intercontinental title against Bayley on WWE RAW, marking their first encounter since Lynch replaced Bayley as Lyra Valkyria’s WrestleMania 41 partner following an earlier confrontation. This match adds an extra layer to her already high-stakes summer, as fans speculate about her plans to capture double gold once again.
During the SummerSlam Kickoff Show, the champion touched on a range of topics, including her history with Charlotte Flair at Evolution and her excitement for SummerSlam, set for MetLife Stadium. She referenced the main event of WrestleMania’s last appearance at this venue, which prompted loud “Becky Two Belts” chants from the crowd. Lynch embraced the crowd’s energy, suggesting that it could foreshadow her next big accomplishment in WWE.
Bayley Outlines Her Motivation Ahead of Title Match
Bayley made her return to WWE RAW by launching a surprise attack on Becky Lynch as she awaited Lyra Valkyria. This move reignited their rivalry and set the stage for a heated title contest. In follow-up verbal exchanges, Lynch emphasized her dominance, reminding Bayley and fans alike why she stands atop the women’s division.
Bayley later discussed her upcoming bout on RAW Recap, describing the match as more than just a battle for the title. She expressed strong motivation to win a championship she has not yet held, noting,
“She would love to go out there and win the title because she has never been Intercontinental Champion before,”
but also highlighted that this matchup with Lynch could raise the status of the championship and intensify competitiveness in the women’s division. Bayley made it clear, however, that her primary focus is on making a statement by taking the fight directly to Lynch.
