Shayna Baszler came out to the ring and called out Bayley. She heard that Bayley said that she only attacks her from behind. So apparently, Bayley isn’t getting the message. So here she is in the middle of the ring and she’s calling Bayley out.
Suddenly, Bayley entered through the crowd and took out Baszler’s knee. Bayley went outside and then Shayna locked on the Kirifuda Clutch. Bayley ended up getting away and that was that.
