Becky Lynch was in action at Saturday's SummerSlam pay-per-view and Big-Time Becks challenged Bianca Belair for the Raw Women's Championship on the show.

It appeared Lynch had suffered an injury during the match, though, as she had a bad landing on her shoulder. Lynch continued with the match and she could be seen selling the injury during the contest. She was also later escorted backstage with a WWE official while holding her arm.

Lynch has seemingly walked away from SummerSlam unscathed, though, and Dave Meltzer reported there were "no reports of any injuries" coming out of the July 30 pay-per-view.

I'll still wait and see this one, shoulder looked too messed up to be nothing. Hope they're right though.

Could have just been a dislocation?

Yeah it looked nasty but Theory had a similar thing while flexing against Lashley and he was fine.

Bryan Alvarez on WOL: Becky Lynch have a separated shoulder.
"He said he can confirm it now. He doesn't know how bad it is, explaining there are several grades of separation."​

She'll have more time to spend with her kid and at least she finished her character's arc, it's sad that she has to go but it could have been a way worse timing.

Business is cursed

There is still no timetable for Becky Lynch to return to the ring for WWE following her shoulder injury at SummerSlam on July 30, but the hope is that she will be back within the next few months.

Coming out of SummerSlam, WWE’s hope was that Lynch would be able to avoid surgery, and would return in a few months with rehab. A new report from Fightful Select notes that as of early September, word was that Lynch’s doctors and physical therapists thought it would be at least a couple of months before she could get back in the ring.

It was noted that there is no definitive timetable for Lynch’s in-ring return, but WWE creative sources are hopeful to have her back by the end of 2022. That is not guaranteed, and is more a situation of sources being optimistic in the hope that she wouldn’t have surgery.

Lynch was backstage for RAW two weeks ago, and now word is that she was also at RAW this past Monday. It was reported in early September that Lynch was ahead of schedule for her return, and would be back by the end of September, but at the time WWE sources could not confirm the rumors, and even beyond that word is that WWE had yet to follow-up with Lynch about a possible return at that point, and that she was never slated for a September return.

Following the talk of surgery in early August, Lynch noted that she had gained a lot more mobility, and that her injury was healing quick. She then stated in early September that she was feeling stronger, and hoping to return soon.​

So we've gone from no injury to a separated shoulder and from a likely September return to no timetable. Hoping she's back for the WarGames buildup at the latest.
