"Remember TheGrudge, the past was changed in Bayonetta 1 as so Cereza/Bayonetta was sealed much later than in the first timeline."

According to Kamiya on the Developer's Commentary for Bayonetta 1, when Bayonetta sent Cereza back to the past it DID NOT change Bayonetta's past but created an alternate parallel timeline where the "Cereza" she sent back never got sealed and fought back against the Witch Hunts.

Since Bayonetta is the Left Eye, she was able to gain the memories of what Cereza did in the new alternate timeline and the strength she gained from those new memories caused her to fully awaken as the Left Eye.
