Bayley has become Raw Women's Champion for the first time after pinning Charlotte Flair on Monday night's show in Las Vegas.
Bayley covered The Queen following a Bayley-to-Belly Suplex, a move made possible by her friend, Sasha Banks, jabbing Flair in the throat with her crutch as she trapped her challenger in a Figure-Eight Leglock.
Former NXT Women's Champion Bayley - who failed to prise the Raw Title from Charlotte at the Royal Rumble - had her head bounced off the turnbuckle before being raked across the eyes by Flair's pal, Dana Brooke.
However, Banks' intervention - The Boss taking out Brooke prior to attacking Flair - saw Charlotte's fourth reign as Raw Women's Champion come to an end and Bayley celebrate her triumph by leaping into the crowd.
On a busy night for the women's division, Emmalina made her long-awaited debut on Raw - bizarrely announcing that having transformed from Emma into Emmalina she would now turn back into Emma.
Plus, former Divas Champion Kelly Kelly appeared backstage to reveal that she was not ruling out a return to the ring in the future.
Elsewhere, Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho's Festival of Friendship - during which the latter bestowed an array of expensive gifts on the former and Owens beat up Goldberg imposter Gillberg - ended in chaos as Owens thundered Jericho head first into his Jeri-tron.
Sami Zayn, meanwhile, was chucked into the TitanTron by Samoa Joe following his Helluva Kick-secured win over Rusev - Joe making good on a promise made during a sit-down interview to 'destroy' everyone in his path.
Jack Gallagher - who will challenge fellow Englishman Neville for the Cruiserweight Title at Fastlane - beat Scotland's Noam Dar, while Akira Tozawa, Kofi Kingston and Cesaro picked up singles victories over Ariya Daivari, Bo Dallas and Enzo Amore respectively.
Plus, Roman Reigns - who conquered Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson by disqualification in the night's opening bout - attacked Braun Strowman moments after The Monster Among Men had beaten Mark Henry.
Strowman shook off the effects of two Superman punches to floor Reigns, the man he will face at Fastlane, with a running powerslam but is in line for a big test next week - a one-on-one clash with Big Show!
Watch that match and a whole lot more, live on Sky Sports 5 at 1am on Monday night (Tuesday morning). You can watch a repeat of this week's Raw, meanwhile, at 10pm on Wednesday on the same channel.
