The story, as they recovered, was whether Bayley and Banks would be on the same page or face off. Banks told Bayley they would team against Bliss, who was waiting for her pod to open. The crowd counted down as it was time for her to be released. Bliss held her pod closed as they tried to get to her, then scrambled out the other side and up to the top of the pod. Bayley and Banks climbed up and she was trapped between them. Realizing this, she climbed down and when they climbed down, she went back up, a total game of cat and mouse.

Your winner and still WWE Raw Women’s champion Alexa Bliss!
Real good match. They told a nice story and built the drama the right way with the entrance order. Everyone had their moments to shine and this was really enjoyable for the entire 40-minute plus run of the match. Well worth going out of your way to see.
Renee Young interviewed Bliss after the match. She said the victory means everything to her and she was tearing up. She said this wasn't about her but any little girl at home or in the audience who ever dreamed big. She said it was about all of them. She said the win was proof that you can be anything you want to be and that you can dream big. She then said she was looking out at everyone and looking at them, she knew they would never accomplish their dreams. AWESOME swerve on the audience. Bliss said the ods were stocked against her but she still won. She proved there is one true Goddess in WWE. An absolutely great promo.
They showed Banks sitting outside the ring despondent over her loss.
Kurt Angle was shown knocking on Ronda Rousey's door.
Braun Strowman cut a promo to his phone, saying everyone was going to get his hands and then he was going to make Brock Lesnar his pet at Wrestlemania.
