Even though it had four rematches, Stomping Grounds delivered a few memorable matches and moments.
#2 Raw Women's Championship match - Becky Lynch (c) vs. Lacey Evans

Match two between 'the Man' and Lacey Evans was almost the same as the first showdown
Like the Cruiserweight match, the crowd was hot for this bout. Becky Lynch is still greatly over with the audience, which actually helped this match from being worse. Evans missed a few spots and Lynch even had to wait on the ropes for Evans to be ready to receive a move from off the ropes.

Evans spent most of the match focusing on the ribs of 'the Man', and although it's a good strategy, it isn't the most visually-appealing. She's like Baron Corbin in that she has a few athletic moves, but for the most part, her offense is plodding.
The whole spot with Lynch stuffing Evans' sweat rag down her own throat was entertaining and was a throwback to the Million Dollar Man stuffing money down people's throats after matches. Due to Evans' limited skill set, this was on par with their match at Money in the Bank, which was also middle-of-the-pack.
Match Grade - C+
