Bianca Belair went toe-to-toe against Nia Jax on Raw for the Women’s WarGames Match advantage at Survivor Series. While The Irresistible Force had the victory in the palm of her hand, an unexpected ally made her return on Monday nights to help out The EST. The ally was Bayley, who made a shocking appearance on Raw last night.

Jax disrupted Bianca Belair at ringside, leading to an unfavorable situation for the Women’s Champion. Jax went on to gloat by showing off on the turnbuckle. However, just in the nick of time, The Role Model pushed her off the turnbuckle, giving Belair a position to seize the victory and the advantage for WarGames.
