#1 Sasha Banks defeats Carmella for the SmackDown Women's Championship in a decisive manner at TLC
Trending
In a surprising booking decision, Sasha Banks defeated Carmella at TLC in quite a decisive manner. Tapping out in mere seconds after being locked in with the Bank Statement, the challenger lost cleanly in the middle of the ring.
While a loss doesn’t bode well for a newly energized character, Carmella, to her credit, put up one of the best performances of her career at TLC. She hardly showed any ring rust, even though she was away from the action for several months.
It’s heartening to see Banks finally get a decent run with the SmackDown Women’s Championship after holding the RAW Women's Championship for just 116 collective days in a total of five reigns. She has earned this, and hopefully, her title reign continues at least until Royal Rumble or maybe until WrestleMania 37.
However, it is to be seen if The Boss moves on to some other contender, or will Carmella get another shot after her loss here at TLC.
