10 HUGE WWE Crown Jewel 2022 Predictions You Need To Know

4. Bianca Belair (c) Vs. Bayley

WWE Extreme Rules 2022 Bianca Belair Bayley

The challenge for Bayley and Bianca Belair here isn't to try and generate at least one long nine count where 'The EST' looks as though her title may be in jeopardy, but simply to end this particular singles series on enough of a high that audiences want one more bite at Survivor Series.

A WarGames match between a Belair-captained team and Damage CTRL and friends looks assured, and following Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai's second loss to Alexa Bliss and Asuka elsewhere on this show, it can serve as a last gasp bid for glory from the struggling trio.

Outside of the ramifications, Bayley and Belair will presumably do untold damage to each other based on a quality Raw go-home show brawl and the effort they put into their Extreme Rules ladder match being more that the usual from that tired stipulation. A recent televised straight singles match suggests they're better without the bells and whistles, but it'd be nice for this presumably final showdown to be a rule-proving exception.

Winner - Bianca Belair
