With less than ten minutes to go and the score tied at 1-1, Charlotte went high risk from the top rope again with a moonsault but Sasha rolled out the way and connected the Bank Statement forcing Charlotte to tap out and giving Sasha a much needed 2-1 lead.

Charlotte began to target Sasha’s legs, driving it through the mat from the second rope and tossing it to the ring post. With Sasha’s lower body weakened, Charlotte locked in the Figure Eight causing Sasha to tap out just seconds away from the end.

A battle of submission between Sasha and Charlotte would commence but Charlotte would prevail over a bleeding Sasha with the bridged Figure Eight, earning her the Raw Women’s title for the fourth time.
With no title rematch clause, this also marks the end of the Charlotte and Sasha Banks feud.
What did you think of the match?
