The match began at a chaotic pace with all three women trading blows. Charlotte and Bayley would then take turns wrestling Lynch until the Irishwoman was out of the ring. This led to these two going at it in the ring with The Huggable One going to work on The Nature Girl.
Charlotte would then go into control with a headlock that threw Bayley around the ring.
Lynch would make her way back and started going after the two babyfaces. She hit multiple leg drops on Bayley and put a lock on her injured left leg. This is what makes NXT great, as it’s always consistent. She’s had this “injury” for months.
After Bayley got some payback, Lynch would put her into another lock, only for Charlotte to come out of nowhere and hit Natural Selection. Bayley would stop the pin before it reached three.
There was one spot where it looked like the three women were going for a superplex, but Charlotte would pull Lynch off the top rope, leading to Bayley jumping and hitting the member of Team Bae. This led to some well-deserved chants.
Charlotte and Bayley would then trade hits until The Nature Girl put two figure fours on The Huggable one. However, during the second one, Lynch sneaked in and pinned Bayley for the surprising victory.
Becky Lynch defeats Bayley and Charlotte via pinfall to become the #1 contender for the NXT Women’s Championship.
3.2 out of 5 stars – A very good match that likely sets up Lynch vs. Sasha Banks at the next NXT TakeOver. It should also be a huge part of tomorrow’s taping.
This may be Charlotte’s last match in NXT unless they have something planned for her. She’s ready for the main roster.
As for Bayley, what she does next remains up in the air, for now.
