Grade: A+

Analysis: This was a perfect wrestling moment. It started off with an attack from Lacey Evans and Charlotte Flair on Becky Lynch after the match. When Bayley came out, it looked like she might turn heel on Becky Lynch and take the Raw Women's Championship from her.

She then made the save by attacking both Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans. When Bayley eventually cashed in for the championship, everyone was ecstatic. As she went on the top rope and delivered the Elbow Drop and won the championship everyone went crazy.

After years of booking Bayley as a joke, WWE finally booked her correctly. She deserved this moment for all the trouble she has gone through on the Raw roster. She was treated as second best to almost everyone and her reign as Raw Women's Champion and WWE Women's Tag Team Champion were abruptly ended.

WWE also managed to make a star out of Bayley without turning her heel. Bayley cashing in on Charlotte Flair was perfectly just, as Charlotte had attacked her after a match several weeks ago, cheated to win the championship, and attacked Becky Lynch after the match. In the eyes of the WWE Universe, Bayley saved them from another Charlotte Flair title reign. WWE managed to have a face cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase while still making her look like the hero.
