On this week’s WWE RAW, Sasha Banks attacked WWE RAW Women’s Champion Asuka after the two signed their title match contract, but on WWE NXT Great American Bash Asuka took her revenge by helping Io Shirai defeat Sasha Banks. Asuka blinded Sasha Banks by spitting the ‘the green mist’ on her eyes, which gave the NXT Women’s champion a chance to deliver the Shirai moonsault to win the non-title match. Asuka is scheduled to defend her title against Sasha Banks at the upcoming WWE Extreme Rules PPV which will take place on July 20, 2020.
