With Becky Lynch going down to injury at SummerSlam, Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair was going to need backup to stand up to the new heel trio of Bayley, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky.

The EST of WWE got her support in the form of former women's champions Asuka and Alexa Bliss, who were attacked during their singles match by the villains. Belair ran the three off, then challenged any of them to a match. Sky accepted for later in the night.

During their match, Bayley and Kai made their way to ringside and got involved, which prompted Bliss and Asuka to come to Bianca's aid.

With all those combustible elements, it was only a matter of time before everything broke down, with the match ending in a DQ and a six-woman donnybrook in full swing and fans chanting, "Let them fight!" as referees and officials broke it up.

This presumably sets up several rivalries and match permutations between the six women during the next several weeks or months and could make for some interesting television. Throw in Rhea Ripley, Carmella, Queen Zelina, Doudrop and Nikki ASH and you have some exciting times ahead for the Raw women's division.
