WWE runs back last week's main event, with a different result this time.

WWE Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair's latest title defense just got a bit more crowded.

Becky Lynch defeated Asuka Monday night in a rematch from last week, with the stipulation that if she won, she would be added to the women's title match at Hell in a Cell, making it a triple threat. Asuka beat Lynch last week in an on-the-fly main event that was a last-minute rewrite due to Sasha Banks & Naomi walking out of Raw.

Monday's bout came about when Lynch complained to Adam Pearce about Asuka using her green mist to blind Big Time Becks. But rather than throw out that result, Pearce made the rematch, with the added condition.

The match itself felt rushed at the end, with the referee making several fast 10-counts while the women were outside the ring. As the match wound down, Lynch fell into Belair's lap (she was seated at the commentary desk), and Asuka inadvertently kicked the champ. Becky pummeled Asuka and then rushed into the ring. Asuka dove in to beat the count, but Lynch simply rolled her up for the anticlimactic win.

So the HIAC match will now feature all three women, but we'll get Asuka versus Belair next week in a singles bout... because we have to fill three hours of Raw, apparently.
