MAIN SHOW
Charlotte (C) vs Bayley (for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship)
Bayley got a massive ovation from the Alamodome as she came out the the ring. “Hugger Section” signs filled the arena as Bayley made her way down to the ring. She was followed out by Charlotte, who received her fair share of boos from the fans in presence.
Charlotte started the match strongly, driving Bayley out of the ring soon after the match started. Bayley came back in and threw Charlotte out. She hit Charlotte with a Stunner on the ropes as she tried to get back in. She followed it with a hurracanra through the ropes before heading to the top rope and hitting a crossbody to the outside. Charlotte responded by driving Bayley’s head into the apron before smashing Bayley into the steel steps.
Back in the ring, Charlotte drove Bayley’s face into the mat as she looked in firm control. She followed it up with a headlock before driving her knee into Bayley’s gut. She followed it with a cover for the first nearfall.
‘The Queen’ followed it up with knife-edged chops before Bayley attempted a backslide only for Charlotte to power out of it. Charlotte then used her knees to drive Bayley face-first into the mat before locking in a headlock. Bayley then slammed bayley around while still gripping her neck with her knees. Incredible.
Charlotte then slapped Bayley in the face before pointing at the fans and telling her that she was “one of them”. Both women then hit each other with simultaneous clotheslines and took each other down.
Bayley finally fought back and took Charlotte down. She kicked Charlotte in the face before hitting an STO. Bayley then headed to the top rope but Charlotte just wouldn’t get up. Bayley finally hit the flying elbow but only got a 2 count off it.
Charlotte hit back with a brutal kick to Bayley’s thigh before locking in the Figure-4-Leglock. Bayley managed to reverse the pressure but Charlotte managed to reverse it back into the Figure 8. The referee broke up the hold when Charlotte leveraged it against the ropes.
Charlotte then went to the top rope and hit a moonsault but Bayley got her knees up. ‘The Queen’ looked in trouble for the first time as Bayley perched her up on the top rope. Bayley met her on the op rope but Bayley sent her crashing out of the ring. As Bayley tried to get back into the ring, Charlotte hit her with the Natural Selection on the apron.
Charlotte then covered Bayley, who failed to kick out. Great match to start off the show. A little botchy in parts but that didn’t matter.
Charlotte def. Bayley
