Natalya def. Lacey Evans
Last week, a revved-up Natalya fell victim to a less-than-sportsmanlike strategy by Lacey Evans, leading to a Woman’s Right and a 1-2-3 for the beleaguered Queen of Harts. But things might be finally turning around for the former SmackDown Women’s Champion: Natalya made handy work of The Sassy Southern Belle, overwhelming her early on after some immediate disrespect from Evans.
Lacey took control with some more dirty pool on the outside, but her pause to symbolically toss a handkerchief in Natalya’s face — similar to the distraction that got her the win last week — backfired when The Queen of Harts booted her in the stomach and locked in the Sharpshooter for the victory. Natalya pointedly refused to release the hold after the bell as well, sending an unmistakable message to anyone who thought she’d be easy pickings: The cruel summer is over, and things will be different going forward.
