To start, Lynch hit Belair with a Man-Handle Slam like she did at Summerslam, but Belair kicked out. From there, the match was stocked with major impact moments including Belair hitting a perfect 450 Splash off of the second rope, an impressive vertical suplex from Belair on the outside of the ring, and a second Man-Handle Slam from Lynch on top of the steel steps. In the end, Belair lifted Lynch into the air and connected with the KOD before covering for the victory.<\/p>\n<p>Bianca Belair earned the opportunity to face Lynch after winning the women&#8217;s Elimination Chamber match in February.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/04\/02\/4-2-wwe-wrestlemania-38-results-kellers-detailed-match-report-with-analysis-including-charlotte-vs-rousey-lynch-vs-belair-austin-on-ko-show\/\">4\/2 WWE WRESTLEMANIA 38 RESULTS: Keller\u2019s detailed match report with analysis including Charlotte vs. Rousey, Lynch vs. Belair, Austin on KO Show<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-354777651\"><div id=\"pwtor-1343930533\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Bianca Belair is the new WWE Raw Women&#8217;s Champion.
