Bayley Wins WWE Raw Gauntlet Match, Will Face AJ Lee For Women’s IC Title Next Week

Nile had an impressive showing in the gauntlet against Bayley. She was able to counter a Bayley-to-Belly and a Rose Plant throughout the match and hit a delayed vertical suplex that had Bayley in the air for an extended period of time. She hit a second rope suplex then a swinging uranage, but Bayley was able to roll out of the ring and compose herself. Bayley hit an elbow drop off the stairs to Nile on the apron, followed by a Bayley-to-Belly back in the ring to eliminate Nile to go one-on-one with Asuka.

Bayley took the fight to Asuka immediately, but Kairi Sane interfered on the outside. Bayley got Asuka into a knee bar, but “The Empress of Tomorrow” was able to roll to the bottom rope. Bayley almost had the match won with a running knee, but Asuka kicked out and the bout rolled on.

When Sane went to interfere again on the outside, Valkyria ran back out to help her tag team partner. Asuka caught Bayley’s attempt at an elbow drop and got her into the Asuka Lock, but Bayley fought out of the hold to hit a Rose Plant for the victory.
