Team EST Conquers WarGames; Rhea Ripley Retains

by

For the second year in a row, Becky Lynch secured the victory for her team inside of WarGames. Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, Shotzi and Lynch stood tall to end the match. Lynch and Flair even hugged it out and mended their friendship during the match.

Highlights of the match included a call back to IYO SKY’s trash can cross body from the top of the cage. We also got to see Charlotte Flair hit a moonsault from the top as well.

Bayley worked very well as the MVP match saving it on many occasions for the rest of Damage CTRL. In the end though, Bayley would be the one put on a table after a KOD by Belair. Lynch would hit the leg drop from the top of the ring post to get the pin and the victory for her team.

In the Survivor Series post show press conference the relationship between Flair and Lynch seems to be mended.

Rhea Ripley also successfully defended her Women’s World Championship against Zoey Stark. The match had some hard hitting moments and Stark was hungry for the title. However, she eventually got caught in the Riptide and that was that. Mami is still on top.

And CM Punk is back which means that AJ Lee will be in the Rumble. Good-bye.

Lita Returns To Raw, Helps Lynch Defeat Bayley In Steel Cage

by

Fans finally got the steel cage match between Becky Lynch and Bayley on the Feb. 6 episode of Raw. And what made it better was it being in the main event where it belongs. The match would end with Lynch victorious after delivering a ManHandle Slam, however, she did get some help. Some help from a Hall of Famer – Lita.

The final moments of the match had Bayley trying to win by escaping the cage. She climbed to the top but Lynch followed her. Lynch tried locking in the DisarmHer on the top of the cage but couldn’t get all of it. Bayley fell down the cage inside the ring to the mat.

With Lynch still at the top of the cage, IYO SKY climbed up and traded blows with Lynch. This continued until she was able to get Lynch back down to the ring. SKY wasn’t able to get back down the cage before Lita’s music hit. She ran down to the ring, pulled SKY off the cage before making sure Dakota Kai wasn’t an issue either. She then slammed the steel cage door on Bayley allowing Lynch to hit her finisher for the win.

From one Hall of Famer to another, we now know that Beth Phoenix will team with Edge to face Rhea Ripley and Finn Balor at Elimination Chamber.

Check back in with Diva Dirt for more news and results from the women of Raw.
