Who Won Tonight’s Steel Cage Opener at WWE Payback?

Becky Lynch has seemingly ended her feud with WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus.

Tonight’s WWE Payback Premium Live Event opened up with Lynch defeating Stratus in a Steel Cage match, which was the first-ever for Stratus. WWE NXT Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton was shown in the front row before the match.

The match saw interference from Zoey Stark, but Lynch fought them both off and won by pinfall. After the match, Stratus yelled at Stark and slapped her. Stark then dropped Stratus with the Z360, and tossed her “Thank You Trish” t-shirt onto Stratus before exiting the cage while her music played.

This was the fourth televised singles match between the two. Stratus defeated Lynch at WWE Night of Champions on May 27, Lynch won by DQ on the July 31 RAW, then Lynch and Stratus fought to a double count out on the August 14 RAW.
