According to Kate Feldman of the New York Daily News (h/t Fightful), Lynch said that she has been strategizing about matches since she wasn’t able to play matches as she was having a baby.

She told about not giving Belair too many chances and that helped her to capitalize. He stated about catching opponents off guard and that helped her.

Lastly, Becky Lynch mentioned that she has not turned heel and got smarter:

I’ve just come back and now I feel like suddenly there’s this conversation that I’m not doing things the right way, but I don’t know what anybody expects me to do.

“Do you want me to come back and toy with Bianca and give her more of a chance to look like she’s got an opportunity? Or would I come back, knowing that I haven’t done this in a while, and be smart about it and blindside her? I just did what an intelligent person would do. If you haven’t been wrestling in a long time, then you’ve been strategizing. You’ve been strategizing because you haven’t been in the ring with this person, so then you are going to do something different. You are going to catch them off guard. And now suddenly I’m the bad guy because I came back even better than ever? I don’t really understand this talk about me being a heel. I haven’t changed. I just got smarter.”

Now we have to wait and see how Belair responds and takes her revenge for SummerSlam.
