Lyra Valkyria defeated Bayley by referee stoppage before continuing the attack after their match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Valkyria rendered Bayley unconscious with a modified sleeper hold at Madison Square Garden, prompting the referee to call for the bell.
The match had grown increasingly physical after Bayley struck Valkyria in the face during an exchange outside the ring. Valkyria suffered a bloody nose, but continued and repeatedly targeted Bayley’s head and neck.
Bayley later applied a Boston crab and followed with a crossface. Valkyria escaped both holds and drove Bayley’s throat across the top rope to create an opening.
She then countered a Bayley-to-Belly and trapped Bayley in the sleeper. Bayley stopped responding, leading to the referee stoppage.
Valkyria did not release the hold after the match. She sent Bayley head-first into the ring post and reapplied the sleeper on the floor as officials attempted to intervene.
After briefly backing away, Valkyria removed the top section of the steel steps. She then escaped the officials, dragged Bayley into position and delivered Night Wing onto the exposed steps.
Valkyria left while referees and other personnel attended to Bayley.
