A simple segment designed to reveal who was filling out Raw's female team for Survivor Series could have gone off the rails. Coming out first, Charlotte had a grip on the situation when Nia Jax and Alicia Fox were introduced. Once Bayley emerged, things got out of hand. The live crowd in Glasgow wouldn't stop professing their love for the babyface.

Singing loudly, the fans even stopped Bayley from delivering her scheduled lines. Going back and forth verbally, Bayley and Charlotte struggled to keep things together. Most of all, it was the Raw Women's Champion who couldn't talk over the booming chants.

Sasha Banks was called upon to save the day. Announced as the final member of the Survivor Series team, even 'The Boss' looked like she might be overwhelmed at first. Charlotte had tried antagonising the crowd, only making them sing louder.

By contrast, Sasha decided to join in briefly. This popped the audience and satisfied them all at once. From there, the noise died down and the women were able to get on with their segment. Subtle yet wonderful crowd work from Banks.
