Bayley becomes number one contender for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental title

Bayley earned herself a WWE Women’s Intercontinental title shot, now scheduled for next week’s episode of Raw, after she won a gauntlet match last night.

The gauntlet match started with Lyra Valkyria vs Iyo Sky, with Sky winning to advance to take on Judgment Day’s Raquel Rodriguez. Sky also defeated Rodriquez but after the match, Sky was on the receiving end of a Tejana Bomb, which allowed the next competitor, Ivy Nile, to run out and quickly pin Sky to move on.

Bayley then came out as the next opponent and defeated Nile before facing the last competitor, Asuka. Kairi Sane tried to interfere in the match, but Valkyria evened the odds and eventually Bayley defeated Asuka after a Rose Plant.

The former champ will now face IC champion AJ Lee in Lee’s first title defense on Raw.
