As soon as the bell rang, Sasha Banks distracted Nikki Cross to allow Bayley to take control of the match. The challengers kept the pressure on Cross, cutting her off in the corner from making a tag to Alexa Bliss on the apron. Cross somehow managed to give a tag to Bliss who entered the ring by looking at Bayley and saying, "You belong to me." Alexa Bliss cleared the house with her incredible moves but was knocked out by the WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion.
Bayley delivered a Bayley-to-Belly from the second rope and Sasha Banks hit Bliss with a running knee. However, 'The Goddess' kicked out and scored her own near fall with a Code Red on Banks while Cross hit a tornado DDT on Banks on the outside. Sasha Banks then hit Cross with a Backstabber and tried to finish the match with the Banks Statement, but Bayley tried to steal the glory with a blind tag.
Bayley tried to pin Cross, but Cross performed a rollup. Sasha Banks then came in to help Bayley and managed to score a crucifix pin on Cross. The two became the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions as the commentator wondered how long their partnership will last.
