WWE SmackDown results: Bayley attacks Sasha Banks after the two fail to defeat Jax, Baszler

As soon as the bell rang, Nia Jax took both Bayley and Sasha Banks down with a crossbody. Shayna Baszler continued the punishment and injured Banks’ knee. Despite this setback, the challenger stayed strong and continued fighting. Shayna Baszler then trapped Bayley in her submission move but tagged in Jax, who delivered a crossbody to both opponents to score the win.

After the match, the medical staff appeared to check on Sasha Banks but The Boss yelled at them and asked them to leave. Bayley then turned on Banks, absolutely destroying her by throwing her into the ring post, ring steps and all over the ring. After punishing her former friend for a couple of minutes, Bayley wrapped a chair around Banks’ head and neck and went on to deliver a stomp from the second rope before walking out.
