Tonight on Monday Night Raw, Charlotte‘s 307 day reign as champion came to an end when Sasha Banks defeated her in singles match for the WWE Women’s Championship.
Early in the show, General Manager Mick Foley and Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon granted Sasha a shot at Charlotte’s title, following Charlotte’s defeat to Sasha at Battleground.
Early on in the match, Charlotte’s protégé Dana Brooke would get involved but would later find herself tossed to the backstage area by the acting referee when Sasha channeled in her inner Eddie Guerrero; setting Dana up by making it believe that she was hit with the title outside the ring.

With Dana out the picture, the playing field was all fair.
Sasha and Charlotte fought hard and well against each other. Sasha hitting her signature knee drops and even going as far as landing a suicide dive to the outside ring. For her part, Charlotte hit an amazing moonsault to Sasha, dazzling the crowd.

But in an emotional finish of Charlotte declaring that Sasha “will never beat her” Sasha countered a strike to lock in a Bank Statement in the middle of the ring, giving Charlotte no choice but to tap out.
