In Flair Country, Charlotte entered Clash of Champions trying to make history as a ten-time WWE Women’s champ. To do so, though, she’d have to go through the woman who pinned her for the SmackDown title back at Money in the Bank. And Bayley’s been rejuvenated by a heel turn and the return of her tag partner, Sasha Banks.
The adults in the Spectrum Center crowd were clearly backing the Nature Girl. The Hugster still had a few little fans high-fiving her during her entrance.

A big boot at the bell almost resulted in another reign for the Queen, but the champ managed to kick out. Flair pressed her advantage, though, and proceeded to destroy Bayley not only in the ring, but on the outside, too.

It was clear what her main target was - Ric’s daughter was softening up the knee for the Figure Eight.

But guess who the dirtiest player in the game was?
That’s right, heel Bayley.
Loosening the bottom turnbuckle cover while the referee admonished Flair for too much ass-kicking, the champ dodged a charge and rolled up a woozy Charlotte. Then she got the heck out of Dodge.
RUN BAYLEY RUN!!!

Can Banks beat Becky Lynch later to keep the Two Woman Power Trip going?
