On the show, Lynch and Belair confronted one another in the ring with Belair challenging Lynch to a championship match. For the second week in a row, Lynch dodged Belair and left the ring to a strong chorus of boos from the audience.

Lynch beat Belair in an impromptu title match at Summerslam. She appeared as a surprise opponent for Belair after Sasha Banks was removed from the show. Lynch hit Belair with a cheap shot to start the match and pinned her in 26 seconds to become the new champion.
