Bayley peaked the interest of a lot of fans with her sinister setups. She used kendo sticks in intriguing ways to brutalise Sasha Banks. At one point in the match, she even duct taped two kendo sticks together but never got to use it.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 killed it!!!!! #HIAC

Banks capatilised and was equally creative. However, instead of setting up anything, she used Bayley’s creations against her. Bayley was not allowed to use her trusted chair during the match.
Sasha Banks made Bayley fall into her own traps

“The Boss” took advantage of this and made the SmackDown Women’s Champion pay for what she did. She used the Kendo Stick to hit the living golden role model out of Bayley.
Chills.
👏👏👏
Congrats Boss #HIAC @SashaBanksWWE @itsBayleyWWE— Peyton Royce (@PeytonRoyceWWE) October 26, 2020
Sasha Banks truly used it all to her advantage. Bayley soon caught the advantage and had Banks on top of a ladder set up on table. The Champion then attempted to jump on this, breaking Banks.
Sasha Banks vs. Bayley Hell in a Cell match was a classic.
All you can really say there.#HIAC

However, Sasha moved out of the way and let Bayley fall in her own trap. The SmackDown Women’s Champion probably knew that she was about to meet her bitter end.
Wow. Absolutely incredible!! 👏 #HIAC @SashaBanksWWE @itsBayleyWWE

Sasha soon took an incapacitated Bayley and locked her in a brutal Bank Statement using a steel chair! The Champion had no choice but to tap out, and was Champion no more.
Amazing finish to an amazing match. They shouldn't have ever been able to touch NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, but that was spectacular from the first second to the last.
The creativity and delivery was just a total different level. Bravo Sasha Banks and Bayley. #HIAC pic.twitter.com/T1YPZXrYnQ

Bayley was taught who the boss is, but she will definitely have something to say. Will the former Champion swallow her pride now, or is there enough heel left in her to challenge Banks again? We will soon find out.
