After the match, Charlotte Flair attacks both Sasha and Bianca. She poses with the RAW Women's Championship, while Becky stands on the announce table with the SmackDown Women's Title.

As Bianca tries to re-enter the ring, Becky leans on her hair braid causing her to get stuck. Sasha takes advantage to roll her up for the win. A creative finish.

Sasha Banks defeats Bianca Belair

Bianca hits an overhead Facebreaker. She has Sasha in the KOD position on the apron but cannot land it. She avoids a Sunset Powerbomb on the outside and backflips into Becky.

Sasha hits a couple of double knees before getting in a DDT. She connects with the Frog Splash for a two-count.

Bianca hits a vertical suplex, followed by a standing handspring Moonsault.

It's time for our main event. The WrestleMania rematch between Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks. But before it can begin, Becky Lynch saunters out to join commentary.

Jeff Hardy is about to be interviewed by Kayla Braxton, but Brock Lesnar shows up. Hardy moves away and Brock declares he is a free agent thanks to his good friend, Paul Heyman.

Roman Reigns hears this and questions Heyman, who is quite rattled. Heyman says he's the wise man before Roman laughs and then screams in his face. The Tribal Chief orders his special counsel to go to RAW on Monday and ensure The Usos are drafted to SmackDown. Roman makes it clear to The Usos that they must stay on the blue brand and if not, they must leave Heyman for dead on RAW.

A strong way to end Night One of the WWE Draft 2021. Austin Theory being picked up is certainly interesting.

Deville and Pearce are here for Round 4 of the WWE Draft.

Pick #13: Naomi to SmackDown
Pick #14: Rey and Dominik Mysterio to RAW
Pick #15: Jeff Hardy to SmackDown
Pick #16: Austin Theory to RAW

Dolph and Kofi begin the match with a lock-up. Kofi leapfrogs Dolph multiple times before landing an elbow. He tags in Woods, who tags in Montez Ford. However, Dolph targets Ford's taped mid-section. Gable enters the match and has a fluid exchange with him. He locks in the Ankle Lock but Ford fights out. The babyface star chops the rest of the heels but is dumped onto the apron by Otis.

Carmella calls Liv a b***h and tells her she won't be allowed to destroy her face. Mella puts on a mask and proceeds to assault her. Looks like the match is not happening.
