WWE Raw Results: Analysing and grading each segment (January 2nd)

Bayley vs Nia Jax (No. 1 Contenders Match):

After being dominated through the bout Bayley pulled off the upset

Result: Bayley pins Nia Jax after a distraction from Sasha Banks.

Grade: 7.5/10

This was a solid match, although a commercial break took up a significant part of the bout. Bayley picking up the win was definitely the right choice here, as she goes on to face Charlotte at the Royal Rumble.

Sasha Banks gaining revenge on Jax by distracting her was wise, as they look set to feud heading into the Rumble. However, a short match hurt the power of Bayley’s win, and Jax has already been pinned instead of saving her first pinfall loss for a big moment.

Overall, this was a nice way of establishing the two women’s feuds, but this match was nothing special.
