Bayley, folks, has punched her ticket to the big dance—a shot at Tiffany Stratton’s WWE Women’s Championship—after surviving a chaotic and high-flying fatal four-way on SmackDown. And let me tell you, it wasn’t just any four-way; this was a match so wild it could make a tornado look like a light breeze.
The other competitors? Former champion Nia Jax, Naomi, and Bianca Belair, all bringing their A-game and some heavy artillery. Jax, the human wrecking ball, was the match’s gravitational force, with everyone ganging up on her. At one point, Jax had Bayley perched precariously for a Samoan Drop on the ropes, but teamwork prevailed as Naomi and Belair combined their powers to send Jax tumbling. And Bayley? She took an unplanned flight across the ring. Let’s hope she had her frequent flyer card ready.
The match featured more high-risk moves than a Cirque du Soleil audition. Naomi hit her split-legged moonsault, Bayley delivered her signature flying elbow, and Belair soared with a 450 splash. But here’s where things got spicy—Candice LeRae, clearly channeling her inner mischief-maker, tried to lend Nia Jax a hand. Grabbing Belair’s braid, she caused chaos as Belair inadvertently lashed her own partner, Naomi.
But Bayley? She saw the opening and planted Naomi with a Rose Plant that had roots deep enough to secure the win. Now, the champ-in-waiting will face Tiffany Stratton next week, with the match taking place in Bayley’s hometown of San Diego. Home-field advantage, folks—it’s not just for sports teams.
