The match went just over nineteen minutes and was accentuated by a pair of tremendous entrances including the Texas Southern University marching band playing Belair out to the ring.
Belair won the SmackDown women’s title in the main event of last year’s first night of WrestleMania 37 when she defeated Sasha Banks.
It ends the reign of Lynch, which began at last year’s SummerSlam when she replaced Banks in the match against Belair and pinned her in 26 seconds after hitting a Man Handle Slam.
