Setting the stage
Bianca Belair came out to the ring and said it felt good to put Bayley into her place last week and called for Bayley to come out, but she didn’t appear.
Belair said Bayley laughing at her took her back to when bullies used to give her a hard time and made her second guess herself, but she’s moved beyond that.
She then said she wants Bayley in the Hell in a Cell and promised to drag her faces across the cage and body slam her over and over again so she won’t be laughing.

Bayley then came out and took a swing, but Belair ducked and they exchanged blows before Belair tossed her to the floor and into the announce desk and then over the barricade.
Bayley grabbed Belair’s hair and pulled her into the barricade, and hammered away on her before she threw her into the ring and hit a running knee and followed that by slamming Belair face first into the mat.
Bayley stood on her hair and held up the woman’s championship.
Jimmy’s all in
Backstage, Jimmy Uso approached Reigns and said he thought about what he said and Reigns was right about representing the family. He may not always agree, but they’re family.

Jimmy pledged his help if Reigns needs it. Reigns said no and that he needs his brother and that they both need his brother and not to worry about tonight.
He wants Jimmy to figure out where Jey is.
