The Queen returned to her throne. WWE has posted a new video to their YouTube channel in which they show the full match between Bayley and Charlotte Flair for the Raw Women’s Championship at the 2017 Royal Rumble event. Flair was victorious, and retained her title.
You can see the match in its entirety below:
From WWE.com:
Befitting of her wheelin’-dealin’ lineage, Charlotte took advantage early on by ramming Bayley head-first into the rock-hard ring apron. That took the wind out of The Huggable One’s sails for minutes on end, until a double-clothesline put The Queen on her heels. As Charlotte stumbled, Bayley began a massive comeback, nearly caving in Charlotte’s sternum with a pitch-perfect, Randy Savage-like elbow drop.
Battered and bruised from Bayley’s offense, Charlotte attempted to connive her way to victory again with a rope-assisted Figure-Eight Leglock. The official managed to break up the illegal maneuver, but not before significant damage had been done to The Huggable One’s knee. Bayley’s injury only worsened when she used her knees to block a moonsault from Charlotte, and when her last-ditch effort fell short, the champion capitalized with Natural Selection onto the ring apron to deny Bayley her dream. While The Huggable One returns to the drawing board, Charlotte marches along a gilded path that is beginning to look more and more like destiny.
Editor’s Opinion:
This was a fantastic match by two fantastic performers. It’s no secret that Charlotte Flair is on pace to be one of the greatest female competitors in WWE history, and this match continued another title reign for the queen!
