BOSTON — Do you, in fact, want some Bayley? Well, consider it done. The much-beloved Superstar — she of the hugs, headbands and wacky inflatable tube men brigade — scored one of her signature heartfelt victories at WWE Hell in a Cell, battling through the pain of an injured shoulder to defeat Dana Brooke.
Brooke had been a singular torment for Bayley in previous weeks, attacking her from behind, savaging her shoulder and exercising dominance in an arm-wrestling match. Their Boston battle looked to be much more of the same, initially, with the bodybuilding champion utilizing the full scope of her strength to dominate Bayley. Setting out not to beat Bayley but to “break” her, Brooke unleashed a focused attack on Bayley’s shoulder to weaken her body, while whittling away at Bayley’s mind with her signature trash talk.

All of which had Brooke poised for what looked like a blowout, until Bayley used her good arm to create separation with a stunner off the middle rope. Bayley switched to southpaw, and while the reeling Brooke had the wherewithal to break up one Bayley-to-Belly by pounding on the injured shoulder, Bayley immediately sprang for a second one to earn the win. One-armed hugs for everyone.
