Of the women’s matches we did get on SummerSlam, however, IYO SKY cashing in her Money In The Bank contract to win the WWWE Women’s title (after Bianca Belair briefly reclaimed it by defeating Asuka and Charlotte Flair in a triple threat match) was one of the best parts of the night. Though some had speculated such a thing might happen prior to SummerSlam, it was not entirely expected, and was one of the event’s legitimate surprises.

While there seemed to be tension with SKY and Bayley on Friday night’s episode of “WWE SmackDown,” Bayley absolutely clobbering Flair and Asuka with SKY’s briefcase before SKY cashed in to win the title was a nice touch of heel work for the Damage CTRL leader, and the inclusion of Dakota Kai at the end of the match was a perfect touch for the cash-in. Here’s hoping Kai is cleared for competition soon, or at least returns to being at ringside, and Damage CTRL and SKY can get a storyline they deserve. Any fresh storyline with new competitors for this women’s championship makes us all winners.
