If you haven't watched Extreme Rules just yet, we'll give you a quick recap of the controversial RAW Women's Championship match. As you know, Sasha Banks faced Asuka for the RAW Women's title in what turned out to be an exciting contest.

As expected, SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley made her presence known and had a big role to play in the finish of the match after Asuka accidentally spat green mist into the referee's eyes. Bayley smacked Asuka from behind with the Women's Tag Team title and usually, there is another referee that comes in.

This time, Bayley put on the referee's shirt herself, counted the pin, handed the Championship to Sasha Banks, and demanded the timekeeper to ring the bell. It was all so odd, but WWE confirmed that Asuka is still the Champion. Sasha Banks is merely in possession of the title and we expect her to make her presence known on RAW again, possibly setting up a SummerSlam program.
