This is comfortably the hardest match result to call on the card, even if the quality shouldn't be in any doubt.

Blessings have been mixed with the Bayley comeback so far, and the middling praise can be applied to her Damage CTRL group too. Yes, they've won the Women's Tag Team Championships and featured prominently across both brands, but exposure has been at the expense of any real character development or a killer angle beyond their sidelining of Becky Lynch the night after SummerSlam.

Strictly in terms of wins and losses for the 'Role Model' and group leader, the booking has been good. Bayley picked up a pinfall win over Belair at Clash Of The Castle, breaking a long unbeaten streak for the Champion in the process. She now stands to take her title without even needing to do that again, and as the sides seem to be forming into larger groups at just the right time of year, completing the job at Extreme Rules might force 'The EST' to start a War as Survivor Series beckons.

Winner - Bayley
