Although the former Women’s champion starts with a lead when she puts in a painful arm wrench on the Irish pro-wrestler, the 28-year old unleashes a counter with a smooth arm drag later and then continues with a side headlock. Consequently, as the two wrestlers trade one move for another, Valkyria’s agility shows as she executes a headlock takeover and uses a number of counters preventing Bayley from succeeding.
Bayley, in contrast, yet still makes her courage show when she does a number of false finishes, the last of them being with a spinebuster and a sunset flip bomb, even though during this time Valkyria is the one who is mainly on the defense. Nevertheless, although the 28-year old responds with good counterattacks such as a Bitchy and a Hungarian Arm Trapped Throw the 35-year old keeps her cool and at one point after a commercial break applies a neck vice, and successfully maintains the pressure on Valkyria. The women’s IC champion bombasts the match with trickeries like spinning kick and missile dropkick of which both are of no good whereas Bayley is just not letting it happen.
Going into the final stages of the match, the two players are engaging in a series of blows with Bayley landing a knee right on Valkyria’s face and her signature Bayley-To-Belly suplex. The women’s IC champion proceeds with a number of high-impact moves, including a diving leg drop and a roll-up, but Bayley kicks out. In the closing seconds, the Irish wrestler manages to defend herself as “The Hugger” tries to do a Rose Plant, so she just quickly sweeps Valkyria’s feet and rolls her up for the pin.
Bayley stands victorious after the tough match, thus earning her the chance to get into the Elimination Chamber match alongside Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss, and WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Bianca Belair.
