Paige vs. Sasha Banks
Result: Sasha Banks defeats Paige via submission.
Rating: 3.2 out of 5 stars
Sasha and Paige would swing each other throughout the ring to begin this. Paige would hit her with a knee and get a near-fall. She hit her with multiple punches before Sasha nearly rolled her up.
Sasha got hit with an arm drag and both went for a dropkick. Paige got up and hit a fall away slam for a near-fall.
Paige held Sasha’s arm for a awhile before The Boss hit a knee and elbow to get out of it. Paige hit a superkick that got the NXT Women’s Champion out of the ring.
Paige went to the top rope and took out Team BAD!
We come back to see Sasha in control with a near-fall.
After a hold, Sasha would mock Paige’s “This is my house” chant and do her scream. Paige would counter with a quick roll up attempt.
Sasha got Paige into a straitjacket, which the latter got out of and connected with an elbow. She hit a big knee, lariat and and dropkick.
Sasha would go for double knees but get countered. Paige slammed her to the ground and put her into a hold, which Banks got out of.
Sasha got Paige into the Bank Statement and forced her to tap out.
Rob’s Note: This was a very good match. Sasha vs. Paige could have easily been a pay-per-view match but instead we got an excellent one on Raw.
This may very well be a “Divas Revolution.” The wrestling is already better but the question will be how WWE handles the booking going forward. That was the real issue all along.
