2. Bayley Vs Naomi

In which Bayley makes sensational use of her surroundings and Naomi almost certainly can't be the WrestleMania opponent anymore.

A botchy match got great at the finish in a moment that might have finally dragged the former 'Hugger's heel character over the line as the dominant SmackDown Women's Champion. Decked head-to-hands in black with a baggy t-shirt as per the cultural demands of a country that has only just permitted a match like this to take place, she was a long way from the colourful character she used to be - but Naomi's own threads were her undoing.

Bayley rather brilliantly trapped her Challenger's leg in her shirt in order to hit her front-facing DDT for the win after audiences cared little for the Bayley-To-Belly kick out earlier in the match. If "I don't normally wear a shirt so I would have beaten you otherwise" is their get-out for a WrestleMania rematch it'll be one of the worst in company history, not least if Naomi has to win a Chamber match to get another shot.

Done and dusted then? Your favourite cartoon horror character is about to be...
