WWE Hell In A Cell: Charlotte Flair wins 10th Women's Championship
The WWE Hell In a Cell PPV saw Charlotte Flair fighting Women's Champion Bayley. Let us look at the match and see how it unfolded and how Charlotte won.
The WWE Hell In A Cell Pay-per-view took place on Monday in Sacramento, California. SmackDown women's champion Bayley faced "The Queen" Charlotte Flair in a match for the championship. Charlotte capitalised on a distracted Bayley to win the championship and become a 10-time women's champion. Let us take a look at what happened in the match.
Match details
The match started with Charlotte gaining a lot of momentum in the earlier phase. Bayley came back and landed some important blows on Charlotte which shifted the momentum towards her for some time before Charlotte made a comeback. Charlotte then targeted Bayley's left knee as she assaulted the turnbuckle. They exchanged blows after which Bayley tried to pin Charlotte by cheating and taking help of the ropes but the referee caught her.
Bayley started explaining to the referee how she was sorry and while she was indulged in her conversation, Charlotte landed a kick on her that made her disoriented. Charlotte then landed a Figure Eight submission lock on Bayley and Bayley tapped out in no time. With this, Charlotte won her 10th Women's Championship.
Why were they fighting?
Charlotte and the former women's champion Bayley met at Clash of Champions last month where Bayley defended her title after using an exposed turnbuckle to her advantage. The two superstars had been fighting since then with the involvement of Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks. The four had a Tag-Team match on the October 4 Season Premiere of Friday Night Smackdown where Lynch and Charlotte won and earned Charlotte a rematch for the title at Hell in a Cell. This is now Charlotte Flair's 10th WWE Women's Championship title.
