Flair’s late run

The win turned on a singles-style pinfall inside a six-woman tag match, with Cargill finishing Flair after the two had been part of a run that kept the pace high throughout. B-FAB and Michin were the other two names on Cargill’s side, and the trio used quick tags to keep Bliss isolated while the match stayed active around the ring.

Charlotte Flair also had stretches that made the outcome feel less settled than the final count. She landed a German suplex to Michin, then followed with a handspring lariat and a hurricanrana from the top rope for a near fall, the kind of sequence that usually shifts control. She later escaped a boot, connected with a superkick and began setting up the Figure Eight before the finish cut her off.

B-FAB and Paxley

Paxley and B-FAB opened with a heated exchange, and the tone never really softened after that. B-FAB pushed Paxley in the face and ate a hard slap in return, while Paxley answered with a front kick and somersault kick for an early near fall. Michin tagged in after an elbow from B-FAB, and Paxley fought off both opponents after tagging in from the apron.

Bliss added a basement dropkick to B-FAB, and Natural Selection earned a two count, but the match kept shifting back toward The Baddies’ side. Cargill delivered a spinning powerbomb from an Argentine backbreaker position, then Charlotte Flair countered an attempted Jaded into a victory roll. Flair also hit a top rope moonsault onto both opponents, yet that surge still did not produce a finish.

Jaded for Charlotte Flair

In the closing moments, B-FAB sent Bliss into the steel steps and then intervened before Flair could complete the Figure Eight. Flair and Paxley even attempted simultaneous spinning toeholds, but B-FAB kicked Tatum into Charlotte Flair before Cargill hit Jaded for the pinfall victory.

That ending leaves the clearest takeaway on the board: Cargill got the decisive fall over Flair, not a roll-up, not a team breakdown, but the cleanest momentum marker in the match. For viewers tracking the women around SmackDown, the result gives Cargill and The Baddies the better headline, while Flair absorbs the pin after spending most of the closing stretch threatening to turn the bout back in her favor.
