She locks in the Figure Eight but it’s broken up by Nikki Bella. Paige spears Nikki to the outside, and Alicia and Charlotte hit each other with big boots.
Both girls get hot tags to Nikki and Becky respectively, who go to work in the ring. Brie goes for a big kick but misses. Becky Lynch catches Brie with a pumphandle slam for the victory.
Evan’s Note: A good well worked match by the Divas division, but it had some strange booking decisions. Knocking out Team B.A.D. so early was strange, plus the finish of the match seemed to come out of nowhere. The actual match action was good though with some great dives and spots like the Alabama Slam on the arena floor. Another good match on the SummerSlam card.
Next: Kevin Owens vs. Cesaro
