Alexa Bliss wanted to use the closing moments of Raw to flex the might of her Women’s Survivor Series team by pitting Sasha Banks and Bayley against each other for the final berth, then siccing the entire team on them and naming Ruby Riott to the team instead. It ended up being a showcase, but not for the team she expected.
Bliss was seconds into her victory lap when the cameras on the TitanTron suddenly flipped on backstage, where SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch was maiming Ronda Rousey with he Dis-Arm-Her in the locker room. After finishing with Ronda, The Irish Lass Kicker came to the ring, where the rest of SmackDown’s Women’s division joined her in a total evisceration of Raw’s Women’s locker room, with Lynch leading the charge despite seeming to suffer a broken nose.
Even Rousey’s arrival did little to even the odds, as the damage had already been done, and the Raw Women’s Champion was ripe pickings for a steel chair attack from Lynch, who then led her team to high ground while The Baddest Woman on the Planet stewed in the ring. (To say nothing of Stephanie McMahon, who demanded Acting General Manager Baron Corbin find a way to retaliate.) Whether Lynch can repeat the feat is a matter for Sunday, but the message was unmistakable, and unmissable: The road to victory, for Raw and Ronda, goes through Becky Lynch, and it’s not as much of a foregone conclusion as anyone on Team Red thought.
