Bayley battled Iyo Sky in a hard-fought match. She overcame the weeks of Damage CTRL beatings and a tweaked knee to win the WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania 40.
Bayley had the odds stacked against her for weeks. Her former stablemates in Damage CTRL were on her back since she became the No. 1 contender for the WWE Women’s Championship. In a 1-on-1 match with Iyo Sky, Bayley was able to expel some of the demons that had been plaguing her. She battled through a tweaked knee and was able to defeat Sky to win the championship at WrestleMania 40.
It’s the third time she won the SmackDown title and the fourth women’s championship reign of her career. To get to this point, Bayley had to win the Royal Rumble match to earn a shot at a women’s title. After her Damage CTRL partners turned on her, she took aim at Iyo Sky and her WWE Women’s Championship. A title Sky won with the Money in the Bank cash-in at SummerSlam. Bayley started her attack on Sky. She got the champion out on the side of the ring and dove through the ropes to hit Sky.
The match moved to the outside. Sky tried to go off a barrier, but Bayley caught her and slammed onto the ground. Bayley continued the attack back inside the ring. A sideslam and pin nearly drew the fall, but Sky kicked out. Sky came back to perform a wild aerial assault outside the ring. She went from the top rope and moonsaulted onto Bayley. She then hit a top-rope missile dropkick. The two competitors were most even through the match. They knew what each other could bring to the table.
Bayley covered Sky for the 1-2-3. She did it. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
