The upcoming WWE RAW Women’s Championship Match at Extreme Rules just got even bigger.
During tonight’s episode of WWE Raw, reigning champion Bianca Belair and Bayley met in the ring along with Alexa Bliss. Bayley said that Belair was handpicked and groomed to be a champion, while Bayley has been doing everything on her own since she was a child. She went on to say that 10 months ago, she couldn’t walk, but now she’s running, and ready to face off against Belair.
Belair reminds Bayley that when she was at the top of her game, Bayley was right here. Bayley couldn’t beat her own so she came back with her friends. Bayley then challenged Belair to change their match at Extreme Rules to a Ladder Match, to which Belair gleefully accepted.

WWE later confirmed the stipulation on its official website:
Bianca Belair and Bayley have each climbed the ladder of success in WWE to earn multiple title reigns, but which Superstar will prove they are a step above the rest when the two storied rivals square off in a brutal Ladder Match for the Raw Women’s Championship?
After she was sidelined for nine months, Bayley made her shocking return to WWE at SummerSlam, bringing along companions Dakota Kai and IYO SKY and setting her sights on Belair and the Raw Women’s Title.
Damage CTRL immediately began to run roughshod over the likes of Asuka and Alexa Bliss to set up a monumental Six-Woman Tag Team Match in which Bayley became the first person to pin The EST of WWE in over 300 days.
The trio continued to pick apart the competition, with Kai & SKY winning the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles, as they looked to take control of WWE. After Bayley dispatched Bliss in one-on-one competition, Damage CTRL turned their attention to Belair as she attempted to rescue her fallen friend from a 3-on-1 beatdown, but Belair fell victim to the numbers game as Bayley laid down a challenge for WWE Extreme Rules.
Unafraid, Belair accepted the Premium Live Event match the following week, agreeing to up the stakes for a can’t-miss showdown.
Who will reach new heights and claim control when these two longtime rivals clash? Find out at WWE Extreme Rules on Saturday, Oct. 8, at 8 ET/5 PT, streaming live on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
