The City of Light was all about women’s wrestling glory this past weekend, as Bayley clung to her WWE Women’s Championship title in a nail-biting Triple Threat match at WWE Backlash 2024. Held in the picturesque city of Lyon, France, Bayley faced off against Naomi and Tiffany Stratton in a showdown that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
From the opening bell, it was clear this was anyone’s match. Naomi and Stratton showed they weren’t just there to fill the ring; they wanted that belt. Both challengers had the crowd gasping with near-falls that were narrowly broken up, keeping the title within reach but never quite in hand.
The match took a hardcore turn when the action spilled outside the ring. Stratton, not one to shy away from taking risks, launched a high-octane assault that saw both Bayley and Naomi crash through announcers’ tables. The crowd roared as Stratton then soared through the air with what could have been the Prettiest Moonsault Ever—only to find no one home as both her adversaries dodged at the last second.
Back in the ring, the dynamics shifted quickly. After some temporary teamwork to sideline Stratton, Bayley flipped the script on Naomi’s pin attempt, rolling her up to secure the pin and retain her title. This victory marked Bayley’s first title defense since snatching the WWE Women’s Championship from Iyo Sky during the electrifying Night 2 of WrestleMania 40.
As Bayley’s music hit and the crowd erupted, it was clear that the Women’s Division remains one of the most exhilarating aspects of WWE programming. What’s next for Bayley? Will Naomi or Stratton step back up to challenge her reign? Only time will tell, but for now, Bayley reigns supreme in WWE’s women’s wrestling.
