NXT Women’s Champion Sasha Banks def. Charlotte
The NXT Universe was split as these two BFFs turned rivals locked up in their latest championship showdown. Charlotte used her strength and agility to gain the upper hand in the opening moments of the match, muscling The Boss around the squared circle.

Banks took control after a well-placed knee, working over Charlotte in the corner before wearing her down with a straitjacket submission. The genetically superior Diva used her strength to power out of The Boss’ clutches before turning Sasha inside out with a thunderous spear.

The bout got extremely heated as The Boss slapped Charlotte in the face, screaming “I’m better than you!” That enraged the challenger, who unleashed a flurry of strikes on Sasha before cinching in a Figure Four Leglock, using the ring apron for extra leverage. The two competitors tussled back in the ring, with Banks emerging from the struggle with the Bank Statement locked on deep, leaving Charlotte with no choice but to tap out.

After the bout, the two competitors embraced in a sign of respect, before Charlotte ceded the ring to The Boss, letting the NXT Women’s Champion celebrate a hard-fought victory.
