This brings out The Boss.
Before anyone can say anything important, Bayley comes out to join the party.
Bayley thinks she should get a title shot after pinning Charlotte last week, but she seems hesitant to say it. Banks says they go way back, but when it comes to the title, she has no friends.

It looks like the match might be over as a few more officials come out to keep Jax away from Fox while they check on her. Nothing is announced, so it looks like this is declared a no contest.

She says she met with doctors today, but as she is about to reveal what it is, Dana Brooke heads to the ring. She puts over Charlotte despite having been hit in the face by her earlier in the night.

She says she will use Banks and her broken body to finish what Charlotte started.

Banks ends up putting her into the Bank Statement and then picks up a mic to say the bad news she had was for Charlotte because she will get a rematch at Clash of Champions.

That promo was powerful. And I ain't going to lie listening to her speak I thought the worst, but I look forward to her getting her title back.
