Last night's WWE Raw closed on a major, major development in the women's division, with SmackDown champion Bayley turning heel by beating Becky Lynch down with a steel chair, reuniting with former Boss 'n' Hug Connection tag partner Sasha Banks in the process.

It was a tremendous angle, but there was just one problem: rather than booing Sasha and Bayley as they laid into 'The Man,' the audience cheered loudly. "Yes!" chants even broke out as the beatdown progressed and the heels posed.

Fortunately, it looks like Banks and Bayley were able to turn that reaction around after the broadcast had finished:-

The above video shows the turn's aftermath. Banks raises the smiling Bayley's arm as Lynch struggles across the ring, before the duo leave the squared circle, embracing on the floor then walking up the ramp, holding each other's hands aloft, the negativity increasing as they go.

It'll be interesting to see whether or not there's any fallout from the angle on tonight's SmackDown, particularly as Bayley is currently booked to face another heel, Charlotte Flair, at Clash of Champions. Regardless, it was great to hear the crowd do a 180 in the post-Raw video.
