WWE Grand Slam Champion, Sasha Banks got payback against Carmella for all the sneak attacks and champagne bottle-based offense by submitting her to retain the SmackDown Women's Championship.
The match featured some heated and intense action as both competitors fought tooth and nail in a brilliant back and forth bout. As we saw a few weeks ago on SmackDown, Carmella and Banks have excellent chemistry inside the ring, and they showcased that once more tonight at WWE TLC.
Carmella entered the ring exuding confidence while Bank’s looked visibly irate by her antics that led to the match.
