Following a hard-fought loss last week, Becky Lynch was in action against the woman who cost her her shot at the Smackdown Women's Championship - La Luchadora. Once again, La Luchadora was fully masked, with no indication as to her true identity - though it did appear that the same woman was playing the role as last week.

This match was short, and the ending was ridiculous. Becky had La Luchadora on the ropes, but she crawled under the ring. Anyone who's seen any wrestling could have predicted that a different woman in the costume would come out of the ring, and sure enough, that's what happened. Unfortunately, the announcers had to pretend they didn't notice, even though the new Luchadora was very obviously a different person, and very obviously Alexa Bliss.

Becky made the Bliss La Luchadora tap out, then unmasked her. Of course, that brought in the other La Luchadora, and the pair laid "The Lass Kicker" out before leaving the ring triumphantly. If you're older than six years old, odds are that you thought this was pretty stupid.
