RAW is XXX featured a Steel Cage match between Bayley and Becky Lynch as well. The match, however, couldn’t take place because Damage CTRL attacked Becky before the bell.
Fightful Select now reports that the reason why the match didn’t happen was due to the fact that The Bloodline’s opening segment went longer than expected, meaning several segments had time cut.
The originally planned Becky Lynch vs. Bayley steel cage match was very abrupt, leading many to wonder if it had changed. Fightful Select has confirmed that the match and entrances were supposed to get two segments. However, the opening segment with the Bloodline trial ended up going long and several segments needed trimmed.
We’re told this affected the Bayley vs. Becky Lynch cage match the most, and they either could work an angle to set up to a full on match, or end up doing a cage match that lasted a minute or two. The end result was the angle that we saw.

It remains to be seen if Becky and Bayley will resume from where they left next week on RAW.
