Coming face to face for the first time since they clashed in the main event of WrestleMania 35, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair met in the middle of the ring. Flair’s message for Becky Two Belts was simple: Becky cannot truly call herself a champion until she pins The Queen. Becky retorted, saying that she’s defeated Charlotte more times than she can keep track of and wants new challengers.
Bayley, soon hit the scene, cutting the debate short and vouching to get the next title opportunity after Lacey Evans challenges Lynch at WWE Money in the Bank. Flair tried to patronize Bayley, who squared right up to The Queen. An intently focused Bayley suggested that Bayley and Charlotte face off right now to determine who would get the future title opportunity.
With adrenaline pumping on both sides of the ring after their heated exchange from moments prior, Bayley and Charlotte Flair squared off with a future SmackDown Women’s Championship opportunity on the line.

Bayley fought back by absolutely unloading on Charlotte while fighting through immense pain in her knees. The Huggable One seemed to have victory within her grasp when she hit an incredible sunset flip that had Charlotte reeling. However, The Queen survived that and everything else, and she recovered to finish Bayley off with a massive Spear.

Becky Lynch Def. Bayley
For the first time ever in WWE, Becky Lynch took on Women’s Money in the Bank participant Bayley on SmackDown LIVE. Lynch looked to secure a victory against her fellow Horsewoman before her two title defenses at WWE Money in the Bank, and Bayley searched for the most significant victory of her blue brand tenure.
The Hugger looked to be in rare form as the contest progressed, getting Becky Two Belts on her heels with a series of impactful strikes that had Lynch reeling. However, in the clutch, The Irish Lass Kicker countered Bayley’s flying elbow by getting her knees up, leaving Bayley vulnerable for the Dis-arm-her, which Lynch locked in to secure a hard-fought submission victory.
Becky couldn’t celebrate for long though, as Charlotte Flair appeared out of nowhere and knocked The Man out of the ring with a massive kick to the face before hurling Bayley shoulder-first into the ring post and exiting the arena with a smug smile.
