Nia Jax entered Bad Blood determined to solidify her reign as WWE Women’s Champion by finally putting her long-time rival, Bayley, behind her once and for all. However, things weren’t as straightforward as they seemed, with Jax’s alliance with Tiffany Stratton being called into question by Bayley leading up to the match. This added an extra layer of tension to an already heated battle, and as it turns out, Stratton’s involvement would play a pivotal role in the outcome.
Nia Jax Dominated the Match
From the opening bell, Jax dominated the ring, using her sheer strength to overpower Bayley, repeatedly slamming her into the mat and delivering crushing clotheslines. Despite Bayley’s attempts to fight back, including a sunset flip counter and a daring dive through the ropes, Jax’s power was too much to handle. As the match progressed, Jax looked poised to finish things off with her signature Annihilator, but Bayley, ever the resilient challenger, fought back with targeted strikes and a sunset flip bomb that almost gave her the victory.
The match took a chaotic turn when the crowd began chanting “Tiffy Time,” fueling the tension between Jax and Stratton. Bayley capitalized on the distraction, nearly pinning Jax after driving her into the steel steps. But just as it seemed like Bayley was on the verge of reclaiming the title, Stratton rushed to ringside, briefcase in hand. A miscommunication between Jax and Stratton allowed Bayley to come within inches of victory, but Stratton’s interference, knocking Bayley out with the briefcase, shifted the momentum back in Jax’s favor.
Stratton’s Distraction Pays Off
In the match’s closing moments, with the referee incapacitated and chaos in the ring, Stratton’s distraction allowed Jax to regain control. After a brutal Samoan Drop from the second rope, Jax hit Bayley with the Annihilator, securing the pin and retaining her WWE Women’s Championship.
Though Jax walked away with the victory, the lingering doubts about her alliance with Stratton—and Stratton’s true intentions—promise more drama to come. One thing is clear: Bad Blood lived up to its name, and the bad blood between Jax, Bayley, and Stratton is far from over.
