WWE SummerSlam results: Asuka defeats Sasha Banks to become the new RAW Women's Champion

After failing to win the WWE SmackDown Women’s title from Bayley, Asuka made her way to the ring to challenge WWE RAW Women’s Champion Sasha Banks. The Boss wasted no time in targetting Asuka’s left knee which was injured earlier. However, The Empress of Tomorrow fought back with some stiff kicks and later trapped the champion in the Asuka Lock. Sasha Banks soon recovered and caught Asuka with a hard right hand when The Empress was climbing the ropes.

Later in the match, Asuka tried to trap Banks in the Asuka Lock, but The Boss countered with a Bank Statement. However, Asuka broke free and again trapped Banks in her submission hold. Bayley tried to interfere but the challenger hit her with a hip attack. Asuka countered the Bank Statement yet again and earned the tap-out victory as The Boss screamed for help.
