Bayley Clinches WWE Women’s Title No. 1 Contender Spot After Thrilling SmackDown Four-Way Victory

On January 10, 2025, Bayley made a stunning comeback on WWE SmackDown, emerging victorious in a fast-paced and hard-hitting fatal four-way match to claim the title of number one contender for the WWE Women’s Championship. The match not only showcased the skills of Bayley but also demonstrated the fierce rivalry brewing in the women’s division, setting the stage for an explosive title match.

The intense battle began after Tiffany Stratton, the reigning WWE Women’s Champion, celebrated her victory in the ring. However, her celebration was abruptly interrupted by the former champion, Nia Jax. With tensions running high, the scene quickly escalated when Bayley, alongside the Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Naomi, entered the fray to challenge for the championship. “SmackDown” General Manager Nick Aldis wasted no time in making the match official, and the battle for the number one contender’s spot was set.

Throughout the match, the other competitors tried to neutralize Nia Jax, targeting her to clear the path to victory. One of the standout moments of the match featured Jax attempting to execute a Samoan Drop on Bayley from the ropes, but the combined efforts of Belair and Naomi sent Jax crashing to the ground, giving Bayley an opening to capitalize. Naomi hit a stunning split-legged moonsault, while Bayley landed a flying elbow, and Belair delivered a breathtaking 450 splash off the top rope.

In a dramatic turn of events, Candice LeRae made her presence felt, coming to Jax’s aid. At one point, LeRae grabbed Belair’s braid, inadvertently causing her to whip her partner, Naomi, during the chaos. Despite the interruptions, Bayley remained focused and executed her signature move, the Rose Plant, on Naomi, securing the pinfall for the victory.

Following the match, it was confirmed that Bayley would face Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship next week in Bayley’s hometown of San Diego, California. This monumental opportunity is set to add further excitement to the women’s division and could mark a pivotal moment in Bayley’s career as she seeks to reclaim the championship.
