If you missed the Charlotte Flair/Shayna Baszler match but saw last week’s Flair/Nia Jax match, don’t worry, just replay that match and you essentially have it, just as a longer match with better wrestling.

But the match ended in the same manner as last week this time with Jax getting on the apron and providing a distraction for Shayna, which allowed Charlotte to get the big boot for the win. And just like that, Flair has knocked off division giants Nia and Baszler in back-to-back weeks en route to a title match against the diminutive Alexa Bliss.

It was tempting to give this match an “up” because Baszler was actually wrestling a good match and looked strong for a change. But then she fell to a distraction once again and did the J.O.B.
