The much-anticipated steel cage match between Becky Lynch and Bayley was set to take place last night on RAW. However, as The Man was making her way down to the ring, she was ambushed by Dakota Kai and IYO SKY. They sent Becky into the ring and locked the cage door.

Damage CTRL continued to attack Lynch in the ring. Adam Pierce came out and broke open the lock to the cage door, but it was already too late, as the damage was done. The match was then called off since Becky couldn’t compete.

Following the match, it was reported that the steel cage match was cut short to accommodate the other matches and segments, as the opening segment featuring The Bloodline ran a bit long.

Now, PW Insider has also confirmed those reports. They are also reporting that Becky Lynch was supposed to win the steel cage match against Bayley if the match had happened.

“The steel cage match between Becky Lynch and Bayley did not go as envisioned on tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw, PWInsider.com has confirmed. The original plan was for Becky to win and then be beaten down by Damage CTRL,” per PWInsider.
