Bayley led her team to victory at WWE Clash At The Castle and in doing so, she broke an impressive record held by one of her opponents.
The opening match of WWE’s Clash At The Castle premium live event saw Bayley’s newly-named Damage Control trio of Dakota Kai and IYO SKY successful over Asuka, Alexa Bliss, and the reigning Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair. In defeating them, Bayley also achieved an incredible milestone.
Pinning Bianca Belair broke her unpinned record. In fact, ‘The Role Model’s’ victory came almost a year after Belair’s last pinfall loss; that came against Becky Lynch, who pinned Bianca in a defence of the red brand’s Women’s Championship on 1 November.
Bianca was pinned after taking a corner pump kick, Rose Plant, and top-rope Moonsault, somewhat protecting her during the pin. Presumably, Bayley vs. Bianca is the planned championship feud moving towards Extreme Rules on 8 October.

Bayley has been targeting Bianca Belair since making her return to WWE programming at SummerSlam. Clash At The Castle marked her first PLE appearance since Hell in a Cell 2021, where she failed to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship from Belair in the titular match.
She was planned to wrestle Bianca in an I Quit match for the blue brand championship at Money in the Bank before going down with a torn ACL.
