Nikki Bella continues her WWE comeback on Raw this week following her in-ring return at Evolution. At Evolution, Nikki lasted to the final four in the Battle Royal, and in the process eliminated all three members of The Green Regime. This led to a match between Nikki and Chelsea Green. This was Nikki’s first match on Raw in seven years.
Prior to the match, Green had some words with Stephanie Vaquer who assisted Nikki in the elimination of Piper Niven from the Battle Royal on Sunday.
The match concluded with both Alba Fyre and Niven tried to get involved as Green attempted to take advantage. Green went for the Unpretty Her but it was Nikki who countered and delivered the Rack Attack 2.0 for the win.
Post match, the three-on-one attack ensued until Vaquer made the save.
Elsewhere on Raw, The Kabuki Warriors had a non-title match against the champions Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. Dominik Mysterio did a lot of distracting, which led to Asuka taking him out off the ring apron. However, this allowed Perez to pick up the win as Rodriguez helped her secure the pin.
A 2-out-of-3 Falls match took place between Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. The winner became the number one contender for Becky Lynch’s Women’s Intercontinental Title. Bayley scored the first fall, but the final two went to Valkyria who will face Lynch for the belt that she first wore.
The closing moments of the bout had Valkyria in a crossface by Bayley. Bayley pushed back on the ropes which allowed Valkyria to escape and hit Nightwing to get the three count.
Lynch would come out after the match, dressed in Becky Hogan colors.
