WWE Power
Episode #21
August 26, 2016
Power opens with a highlight package of Summerslam, showing Liv Morgan and Aliyah putting up a heck of a Fatal Beauty fight before falling to the latter. And Becky Lynch almost dethroning Charlotte before the return of Nikki Bella and her attack on Becky ended things for The Irish Lass Kicker.
Becky Lynch's music would hit and out she came to the ring. Becky was fired up asking what the heck was that last night? Referring to Nikki Bella interjecting herself in Becky's match and costing her the WWE Women's Championship. Becky tells Nikki to bring her ass down to the ring right now. Moments later, Nikki's music would hit and she took her time coming down the ramp for the ring. Nikki slowly approached Becky before they were a few feet apart. Nikki said ever since last night everyone's been asking, why Nikki? Why? Nikki tells Becky and everyone watching, the answer is simple, Becky was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nikki says if anyone is going to beat Charlotte for the championship it's going to be her. Nikki reminds everyone that she's the longest reigning Diva's Champion in WWE history and that holds weight. Nikki says that means now that she's back, she's next and she's here to take back what's hers.
Becky tells Nikki first of all it's the WWE Women's Championship now and secondly, she picked the wrong moment in time and wrong woman to screw over. Becky dropped her mic and started throwing hands at Nikki. Nikki was now throwing hands back and the two fell to the mat in a brawl. The two ended up falling out of the ring and began brawling up the ramp before backstage crew came to break them up. Both women tried to tear away from crew holding them apart.

Backstage, we see Alexa Bliss with Rosa Mendes. Alexa tells Rosa it's unfortunate what happened to Becky, but by her count Becky is in the back of the line now. Which means there's a new number one contender for the WWE Women's Championship, yours truly. Rosa tells Alexa to hold her horses and that she isn't just getting named number one contender, she has to earn it. Rosa says she will consider what happened in last nights WWE Women's Championship match and thinks it's only fair that Becky get another crack at the championship.

Tessa tells Sasha she can respect that and they fist bump, before Tessa walks away. Moments later, we pan out to see Bayley. Bayley is all smiles as she tells she heard her say she's focused on her singles career and all, but when she's ready to take over Power's tag division with her to let her know.
