Result: Bayley nails the Bayley-to-Belly to win the title and end Charlotte's PPV winning streak (16:55).

Rating: Bayley's work was pretty messy for the most part, but the absolute worst thing about this match was Charlotte's streak getting ended via shenanigans on a non-event PPV ahead of WrestleMania.

While it is admittedly nice to see the hot potato nonsense with this title stop for a moment, Sasha was unnecessary here and it made both the win and the streak ending feel rather hollow.

It's never good booking when you're made to feel sympathy for the heel, and the fact Bayley didn't argue with Sasha after seeing the replay on the post-show feels very off from a kayfabe perspective. An OK match up to this point, though. 5/10
