Sasha Banks defeats Asuka, becomes the new WWE RAW Women’s Champion

Last week, WWE CBO Stephanie McMahon appeared on the screen and made it clear that Sasha Banks is not the official WWE RAW Women’s Champion. She then announced a rematch between Sasha Banks and Asuka with the title changing via pinfall, submission, disqualification, count-out or interference. This week, Sasha Banks and Bayley came up with an incredible plan which caused Asuka to leave the ring in the middle of the match, which led to Banks becoming the new and official WWE RAW Women’s Champion via count-out.

As Asuka was about to win the WWE RAW Women’s Championship, footage of Bayley attacking Kairi Sane backstage made its way to the screen. This distracted Asuka and the Empress of the Tomorrow left the ring to save her friend from Bayley, causing the count-out. According to fans, the Sasha Banks vs Asuka feud will continue for a couple more weeks. The two could face each other at the upcoming SummerSlam PPV, where Asuka could win her championship back.
