Johnny Gargano might have failed, but catharsis was in Brooklyn last night. It showed up in the women's championship match. This story had been told for nearly a year, and it came to a triumphant conclusion in the Barclays Center, where babyface underdogs have found treasure before.

Shayna Baszler easily had the best match of her WWE tenure as she brutally worked Kairi Sane's limbs, but that didn't stop the Pirate Princess from going after NXT's leading bully with everything she had, landing devastating spears and elbow drops.
Numerous false finishes presented themselves until finally, Sane outsmarted her opponent and reversed her formerly unstoppable Kirifuda Clutch into a pin. Brooklyn erupted in delight to see Kairi Sane at last holding gold.
