Match

Bayley caused an immediate distraction, but Lacey tossed Sasha into the barricade. Bayley again caused a distraction allowing Banks to ram Evans’ right fist into the post. Lacey began to fire up, but her injured hand caused her to miss a move in the corner. Banks took advantage by again ramming Lacey’s hand into the post and then following up with a meteora off the top rope. Once Evans found some space, she grabbed Sasha by the head and repeated slammed it against the post. Banks countered a superplex attempt and went straight back to the hand.

Lacey managed to surprise Sasha with the Women’s right, but Sasha landed near the ropes. Bayley put Sasha’s foot on the rope when Lacey went for the cover. Sasha then attempted to roll up Lacey, but the referee was focused on Bayley. Evans kicked out, hit the women’s right and secured the pinfall victory.
