Zoey Stark wins the number one contenders Battle Royal on the Nov. 6 episode of Raw to earn a title opportunity. She will be facing Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship on Nov. 25 at Survivor Series.
Before the match, Becky Lynch was being interviewed about her participation in the Battle Royal. Nia Jax would sneak up behind her and the two exchanged words. Jax reminded Lynch that she punched her in the face and broke her nose all those years ago. To where The Man responded that she went on to main event WrestleMania while Jax got fired.
Stark outlasted 13 other women to win this match. It should have been 15, but as Becky Lynch was making her way down the ramp, Xia Li knocked her out with the roundhouse kick. Much like she did to Candice LeRae last week. This had Lynch taken out of the match and General Manager Adam Pearce removed Li from the match.
The match would be given plenty of time and showcased many women. This included the tag team work of Kayden Carter and Katana Chance, and the Raw in-ring official debut of Ivy Nile who eliminated both Carter and Chance.
The match would get down to a final five of Nile, Stark, Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, and Shayna Baszler. It would take Rodriguez, Baszler, and Stark to eliminate Jax. Nile was on the ring apron which angered Jax who pulled her off, eliminating Nile in the process. Rodriguez would be eliminated next as this left Stark and Baszler to slug it out on the ring apron. Finally Stark would get the win after Baszler had both feet touch the floor.
This match also had Tegan Nox return from her brief injury.
The order of elimination was –
Nikki Cross
Piper Niven
Maxxine Dupri
