They shook hands after the match.
WWE NXT Women's champion Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks vs. Bayley vs. Becky Lynch
They all began battling. Bayley and Charlotte went back and forth into the ring. Charlotte was sent to the floor. Becky and Sasha attacked her and tossed her into the ring apron where the LED lights are and "broke" the board by slamming her into it. They hit the ring and began working over Bayley but argued over which of them were going to get the pin and the title. Becky backed down to Sasha then grabbed her for a pumphandle suplex from behind. Becky nailed a legdrop on Bayley for a two count.
They went back and forth and into a series of spots where everyone wiped someone out with their signature moves. Charlotte was the last one standing but was sent into the corner shoulder-first and hit the ringpost. Sasha set up Charlotte on the second buckle and Becky on the bottom, then drilled them both with double knees to the gut. That was pretty creative. Bayley returned to throw her with a big suplex, leaving her facing off with the champ.
Becky began nailing a series of running elbows in the corner on Charlotte. Bayley placed her on the top and nailed a rana off the top. Bayley hit the Bayley to Belly suplex but Lynch broke it up at the two count. Bayley slammed her into the apron and hit a sliding dropkick under the buckles onto Becky. Sasha hit a dive out of the ring onto each of them, leaving the champion in the ring with time to recover. Charlotte nailed a slingshot pescado to the floor, wiping out everyone.
Back in the ring, Lynch nailed a suplex on Charlotte for a two count. She placed Charlotte on the top but Bayley got involved and wiped out Lynch. Charlotte was nailed with Bayley to belly from the top. Bayley covered her but Sasha attacked her and covered the champ. Charlotte kicked out at the last second. Sasha locked on a crossface. Charlotte tried to fight it to the ropes but was pulled back. Sasha turned it onto a crucifix style pin and the exhausted champion was defeated. GREAT finish.
Your winner and new WWE NXT Women's champion, a most deserving Sasha Banks!
Great match. It was a total athletic, kick-ass presentation with some great near falls. One of the best women's bouts in WWE in the last decade. The crowd really thought Bayley was going to win several times. The finish was just awesome.
After Charlotte recovered, she offered her hand to Banks. Banks cautiously took it and they embraced but Banks shoved her away and went "WOO!" in her face before leaving with the belt above her head.
