We see Braun Strowman backstage. He says Roman arrived here tonight, looking for Payback but he’s getting the biggest mistake of his life. He says the only thing Roman will be looking for after tonight is for him to be put out of his misery.

Raw Women’s Championship Match
Alexa Bliss Vs. (C) Bayley
Alexa and Bayley lock-up but Bliss wants nothing to do with Bayley. Alexa get the hold broken in the corner, then kicks Bayley with a cheap shot. Bayley responds with a body slam for a two count and Alexa rolls from the ring.
Alexa tries to climb back into the ring but Bayley hits a dropkick to her through the ropes. Bayley brings Alexa inside and hits her head off of the turnbuckle repeatedly. Alexa catches Bayley with a huge forearm to regain some control. Alexa applies a headlock to ground the Hugger but Bayley’s hometown crowd are spurring her on.
Alexa stands on Bayley’s hair and pulls her arms up, taking every second of the referee’s five count before letting go. Alexa then grabs Bayley by the ponytail and stands on her back pulling it as the ref counts again. A rear chin lock from Alexa as again she tries to control the pace. Bayley rolls out, only for Alexa to catch her with a clothesline.

Alexa stands on Bayley’s back. Alexa beats Bayley around ringside before sending her back inside. Alexa takes her time getting back in and Bayley retaliates with a neckbreaker onto the ropes. Bliss takes out the Champ against the turnbuckle and climbs to the top rope, but Bayley climbs up with her. Alexa fights her off and hits the sunset flip powerbomb for a close two count. Bayley hits an insane running knee to set Bliss up for the Macho Man elbow. Bliss manages to kick out at the last possible moment.
The Hugger corners Bliss for some stomps, but Alexa fights back. Bayley sits down to cover her, but she gets pushed off into the ring post, hitting her head and shoulder hard. After kicking out of a roll up, Bliss hits a DDT to get the win and become the new Raw women’s champion!
