“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.

Footage kicks off the episode that showcases Bayley’s shocking turn on RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch last night on RAW. Bayley then seemingly aligned herself with her old tag team partner Sasha Banks.

Smackdown Women’s Champion Bayley makes her way to the ring looking like her old self. Her entrance is complete with posing for the fans and the Bayley Buddies. Bayley stands in the ring, and the crowd loudly boos her. There is a smattering of a “Bayley” chant in there. Bayley says she doesn’t get it. Now a “Becky” chant picks up. Bayley says everyone has something to say about what happened last night. What did they not see coming? Her friendship with Sasha? Her sense of responsibility to the one person that has had her back on the road to the title? Banks is her best friend. Nothing has changed. She’s still trying to show the people the kind of champion she wants to be. Bayley is trying to give people opportunities and lift people up. Bayley says she does it with hugs. Think about the kids. Ever since she started doing all this, she’s trying to make the people feel the way she felt when she was a kid and a fan. Bayley says she is the hero and the role model. Bayley is trying to show people what it means to be loyal. That’s why she couldn’t turn her back on Banks after things got rough.

Bayley is doing everything she can to put Smackdown Live and this Women’s Division on the map. The people deserve a champion with the same recognition as Becky Lynch. Bayley says she’ll be that champion for a long time. That starts at Clash of Champions when she beats the most selfish person on the planet, Charlotte Flair.

Charlotte Flair’s music hits, and she makes her way to the ring. Flair says she is the Queen of selfishness. People say a lot about her, but what you see — WOO — is what you get. There’s no confusion, blindsiding, and there’s definitely no hugging. Flair says Bayley should hug the title real tight because at Clash of Champions…

Sasha Banks’ music cuts her off. While Banks makes her way to the ring, Flair blindsides Bayley with a forearm. Banks charges the ring, and Flair tackles her. They punch away at each other before Bayley hits Flair from behind with a steel chair. Bayley hits her a few times before handing the chair to Banks. Banks hits Flair with it a few times before giving it back to Bayley. Bayley hits Flair with the chair once again. Banks and Bayley pose while the crowd chants, “Becky.”
