Lynch says her return saved Bianca’s match at SummerSlam. When Sasha went out last minute, the higher powers called the biggest person they know. Becky says Bianca wasn’t ready and that’s Bianca’s fault. And because she hasn’t played this game in a hwile does not mean she has forgotten how to win.

But she’s not afraid to admit that she was embarrassed and it still hurts. But that’s the truth and what she won’t do is build herself up while putting another woman down. And she will never make excuses for herself.

Bianca says Becky is talking about her as if she knows her but she doesn’t. Becky wouldn’t give her the rematch and she had to go out and earn it which is what she does.
