At the end of Monday Night Raw, Bayley made her intentions clear when it comes to Bianca Belair’s Raw Women’s Championship!

Bayley has been making waves ever since her return to WWE at SummerSlam alongside Dakota Kai and IYO SKY. Since then, the faction who would go on to be known as Damage CTRL has been a dominant force on Raw, with Kai and SKY taking home the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships last week when they defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah.

At Clash at the Castle, the trio took on Bianca Belair, Asuka, and Alexa Bliss in trios action, and Bayley won the match for her team when she pinned the Raw Women’s Champion. This was Belair’s first pinfall loss in over 300 days, a fact that was made clear during Damage CTRL’s Tag Team Championship Celebration on the September 19th episode of Raw.

During the celebration, Belair, Asuka, and Bliss confronted the trio, taking exception to their comments. Alexa Bliss challenged Bayley to a match later on in the show, and the two went one on one in the main event.

The Role Model was once again victorious in her hometown of San Jose, CA as she scored a pinfall victory over Bliss. After the match, the trio attacked the Raw Women’s Champion, with Bayley hitting a Rose Plant. She then took to the microphone to challenge Belair to a match at Extreme Rules:

“I’m in control now Bianca. I get what I want when I want, and I want the Raw Women’s Title at Extreme Rules.”

Elsewhere on Raw, a mysterious QR code was seen behind Austin Theory during a backstage segment. The code led to a video that fueled speculation about the mysterious White Rabbit being revealed on SmackDown. Full results from the episode can be found here.
