Brie Bella w/ Alicia Fox & Nikki Bella vs Becky Lynch w/ Charlotte vs Sasha Banks w/ Tamina Snuka & Naomi

Result: Brie def. Becky Lynch by pinfall (Roll-up)

Rating: 2.5 stars out of 5 stars

The Bellas start in the ring and cut a promo on Nikki’s reign as Divas champion. Alicia and Brie call Nikki the greatest Divas champion, and the greatest twin sister. At this point we should all remember this promo from the Bella twin feud: Nikki talks about how she’s afraid of the Divas Revolution, and how Sasha Banks will be champion one day, but she won’t win it from her. The Bellas get some heat for calling her the greatest Divas champion ever.

Team B.A.D cut off Team Bella and Naomi says the Bellas don’t speak for the division. Sasha Banks says they’re going to take out the Divas division, and Banks reminds Nikki that she made her tap. Brie gets offended at getting called “just Daniel Bryan’s wife” when Banks says Bella has been riding Daniel’s coattails. Becky Lynch interrupts and says they’re all in for a lass kicking. Finally, the match starts and we go to break.

Back from Break and Brie Bella is using her husband’s patented kicks and eliciting a “Yes!” chant from the crowd. Banks hits double knees to both Brie and Becky and gets a two count at two. Lynch gets some momentum and hits both diva’s with t-bone suplexes. Brie Bella bumps Banks off the apron, and rolls up Lynch and grabs the tights for the victory.

Evan’s Notes: This match seemed to have a majority of it’s action on the commercial break. The promos before were not very strong, especially when it was just the Bellas themselves. It just came across as hollow and empty. The Bellas are filling the tweener role well in the feud, and the revolution is looking to have a good first chapter at Summerslam, but this match was just simply okay.
