While Asuka is in the chase for the WWE RAW Women’s Championship now held by Sasha Banks, Shayna Baszler appeared backstage and punched The Boss in the face to make her way into the title scene.

The two competed in a match later on in the show, and while Banks thought it would be easy for her to intimidate Baszler, she was unprepared for what The Queen of Spades had in store.

Baszler threw Banks around the mat and slammed her before locking in an armbar early in the match. Bayley provided the distraction to allow Banks to fight out and work on Baszler’s arm before trying to lock in the Banks Statement.

Before Baslzer could dominate Banks any further, Asuka arrived and beat down Bayley, leading to the referee calling for the bell even though Bayley was not even part of the match.

The Empress sent The Legit Boss running, following which Baszler and Asuka exchanged a few words and Asuka demanded a match for SummerSlam for the RAW Women’s title.

Banks appeared once again and accepted the challenge, claiming that Asuka would only get her match if she was able to defeat Bayley on next week’s show.

This was a decent match that showed that Baszler is more than capable of defeating any opponent, irrespective of their standing on the roster. Asuka’s interference was necessary to ensure that neither competitor took a clean loss while allowing Baszler to set her eyes on the RAW Women’s Championship once again.
