5. Bayley Vs. Charlotte Flair - SmackDown Women’s Championship Match

STARS AJ Styles Seth Rollins

F*ck Off Sasha, Part II: the Bayley character here resisted the temptation to turn heel, and WWE likewise resisted the temptation to turn the Bayley character heel—but, by, creating such a visible opportunity to do so, her winning, moralistic babyface character was reinforced in a feel-good moment rich in both drama and emotion.

This was a complete triumph in which WWE deftly produced a babyface cash-in in such a way that didn’t heel the Hugger. Good, old-fashioned turnabout-is-fair-play vengeance and consistent character work packed with a promise of a d*mn good programme on the blue brand, this angle concluded the risky Super Becky Two Belts arc in the most effective and creative manner imaginable.

Star Rating: N/A

Angle Rating: ****
