#4 To cement Bayley's brand new look and attitude

Bayley and Charlotte Flair were in the main event of the night, and many of you must have stifled a yawn like me. We'd seen this match only days ago at Hell in a Cell and while it was a fine match, it was no Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks. Neither was it as controversial and 'so bad that it's newsworthy' like The Fiend vs. Seth Rollins.

But then Bayley came out with a new look and I could have sworn for a second that she was Dakota Kai. She stopped by the Bayley Buddies and then with a stick, she deflated each and every one of them. We understood then that she had embraced her heel turn and was going all in, to become a truly despised character (her promo would further solidify this).

The title was WWE's way of recognizing this change in Bayley's attitude.
