Becky Lynch seemingly dons superhero-inspired attire at WWE SummerSlam
WWE Superstar Becky Lynch seemingly wore Marvel Comics superhero Phoenix/Dark Phoenix-inspired attire during her match against Bianca Belair at SummerSlam.
Following her return at The Greatest Party of the Summer last year, Becky Lynch referred to herself as 'Big Time Becks' and started wearing quirkier wrestling gear. She has been vying to regain her RAW Women's Championship since losing it to The EST at WrestleMania 38.
For SummerSlam 2022, Lynch wore a red and yellow bodysuit with a black detachable cape. She topped off the look with her signature quirky sunglasses/ head gear. The look quickly reminded fans of Phoenix/Dark Phoenix from X-Men and Marvel Comics, but more on that later.
Lynch and Belair kicked off SummerSlam with their title match. Both women showcased their determination throughout the match, but the champion retained her title.
After the match, Lynch displayed immense sportsmanship and respect for her opponent by extending a handshake while the two women shared a hug.
#SummerSlam is BIG TIME!
