Sasha Banks and Asuka faced each other in a controversial championship match at the WWE Extreme Rules PPV. It all began after Asuka blew green mist into the referee’s face which forced the referee to get out of the ring. After that, Bayley wore the referee’s shirt and became the ‘unofficial’ referee of the contest. Bayley then counted a pinfall for Sasha Banks and “unofficially” declared her partner as the new WWE RAW Women’s Champion.
