Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks vs. Bianca Belair in a Triple Threat Match for the SmackDown Women's Championship (WWE Crown Jewel 2021)
WWE Crown Jewel 2021 featured two women's contests for the first time. The second saw Becky Lynch defend the SmackDown Women's Championship in a Triple Threat Match against Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair. Despite the restrictions in which the three ladies had to wear with their clothing, they put it on the line to steal the show here.
This was non-stop action that didn't let up at all and had a hot crowd in support of all three women offered here. Bianca Belair was the star of the match with unreal power displays such as her one-armed gorilla press slam, as well as lifting both women from the mat into the KOD. Belair hit the KOD on Becky, but Sasha threw her out of the ring.
Banks and Belair fought to try to capitalize on the fallen SmackDown Women's Champion. However, Becky rolled Sasha up with her hand on the ropes to win and retain the gold. It was a great Triple Threat Match that made all three performers look like superstars here at WWE Crown Jewel 2021.
