#2 Charlotte Flair vs Peyton Royce - Qualifying Match for the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match

Charlotte faced Peyton Royce for a chance to be in the Women's ladder match at MITB

Charlotte took the advantage early with two big suplexes and then launching Peyton Royce halfway across the ring. Billie Kay pulled Royce out of the ring to get her out of trouble as we headed for commercials. We returned to see Charlotte lying outside the ring and the action soon returned to the ring. Royce sent Charlotte head first into the turnbuckles and then held her in a submission using the ropes.

Royce bounced Charlotte's head on the mat before applying a headlock. Charlotte hit Royce with repeated chops and dropped Royce with another suplex. Charlotte went for the figure four but Kay pulled Royce out of trouble. Charlotte leapt over the ropes and took out Kay and then hit Royce with a neck breaker. Royce was caught with a big boot and Charlotte hit the Moonsault but Royce had her knees up.

Charlotte caught Royce with a spear but didn't get the three count. Flair locked in the figure four and Royce tapped out almost immediately.

Result: Charlotte Flair def. Peyton Royce and will be taking part in the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match

Backstage, we heard from Daniel Bryan that Big Cass attacked him a second time from behind because Bryan made him tap out. He said, "the bigger they are, the faster they tap".
