5 Ups And 2 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (July 6)
6. Up - But That's Not All...
By defeating Alexa Bliss, Bayley picked up her first major win in months. After the bout, she got on the microphone to let the fans in on her state of mind. She started by acknowledging that she suffered crushing defeats to Asuka and Nia Jax, but before she could go any further, Jax interrupted her, coming out from the back.
It didn't take long for the dominant Jax to make her point. She got in the ring and got face-to-face with Bayley, prompting the former NXT Women's Champion to challenge her old foe to a match. Jax was pleased, accepting the challenge and leaving the ring having gotten what she wanted.
It's pretty clear that Bayley's going to be challenging for the Women's Championship at TakeOver: Back to Brooklyn. That's the biggest match the brand can roll out, and this is their biggest show of the year. Still, the drama - and the lengths to which Bayley has to go to claim her rematch - ensures that the path to the bout is exciting, as well.
