NXT Women’s Championship
Charlotte (c) vs. Bayley
The crowd starts in with “Bayley’s gonna hug you” chants, and Charlotte owns the first few minutes of the match. Bayley gets in a few shots out of the corner, but is taken right back down to the mat. The champ lays in a few knife-edge chops, which get “Woo!” chants. She locks in the Figure Four headlock and cranks down on the hold. Eventually Bayley gets to the ropes to break the hold. Charlotte tries for the Figure Four leglock, but Bayley rolls her up for a close count. Charlotte hits an elbow but Bayley comes out of nowhere with a flurry of rights and lefts, attacking her in the corner, until she gets caught in the ropes and Charlotte takes her down. They trade elbows and battle to the top turnbuckle, and the challenger is just slapping the hell out of Charlotte, coming off the ropes with a super hurricanrana; both Divas down. After a minute Bayley goes for her finisher, but is thrown hard into the bottom turnbuckle, almost knocking her out. Charlotte nows goes to the top rope and hits about 20% of a moonsault, but Bayley kicks out to stay alive. She hits Bow Down to the Queen – which has been renamed “Natural Selection” – and picks up the win.
Winner: Charlotte
After the match, Sasha Banks comes out and starts attacking Bayley. Charlotte watches it on the monitor, but goes back to the ring and throws Sasha to the ground. She shows Bayley a sign of respect, then holds the title up and glares at Sasha Banks, who retreats up the ramp.
