Paige vs Becky Lynch
Result: Paige def. Lynch by pinfall (Roll-up)
Rating: 2.5 stars out of 5 stars
We get a recap of Paige vs Charlotte from Survivor Series and from RAW on Monday before this match. Becky gets a full entrance, with her own theme and steam punk attire. Finally she gets to showcase more personality aside from just puns.
Lynch gets in a few quick arm drags before Paige slips to the outside and cowers away from Lynch. Paige gets control back and connects with a high knee. Paige is in control as we head to a commercial break.
Back from hte commercial and Paige is using her patented knees on the ring apron. Charlotte is shown backstage watching on a monitor. Paige continues to work on Lynch’s arms Lynch starts to mount a comeback and nails an exploder suplex for a two count. Paige gets the roll-up on Lynch out of nowhere for the win after Lynch goes for the Disarmer.
Evan’s Note: Paige was trying to use the ropes for extra heel leverage, but she couldn’t reach so she had to settle for the roll-up. Also if Becky Lynch and Charlotte are such besties, why wasn’t she cheering her friend on at ringside? She clearly wasn’t doing anything else since she was watching in the back. So strange.
