Women's bout set for WWE Raw.

WWE announced that SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley will take on Nikki Cross in a non-title bout on Monday's episode of Raw.

Matt Hardy Provides Update On His Free Agency, Says He Has Been Speaking With AEW And WWE

From WWE:

SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley invaded “A Moment of Bliss” on SmackDown LIVE to knock Charlotte Flair off her pedestal and onto her backside. Following that interruption, Alexa Bliss’ best friend and her fellow WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Nikki Cross aims for payback when she battles Bayley one-on-one on Raw.

With The Goddess in her corner, Cross looks to make a statement against Bayley in this non-title contest. Can Nikki score a “Moment” of her own, or will the SmackDown Women’s Champion build key momentum as she prepares to defend her title against Charlotte at WWE Clash of Champions?

Also scheduled for Monday's episode will be two more first-round King of the Ring matches as Ricochet faces Drew McIntyre and The Miz battles Baron Corbin. Last Monday on Raw, Cedric Alexander and Samoa Joe advanced to the second round with their victories over Sami Zayn and Cesaro respectively.

Fightful will have live coverage of WWE Raw beginning Monday at 8 p.m. ET.
