Sasha joins her and throws her down, Charlotte catches Sasha in a bad spot and powerbombs her through the Spanish announcer's table!
The match hasn't even officially started yet and we've already seen a brawl in the crowd, Charlotte trying to climb the cage and a broken announcer's table.
The referee is helping Sasha who can barely stand as the referee calls for EMT's. The doctor is on the verge of putting a neck brace on Sasha as Charlotte keeps on screaming for her Title!
Just as the ring announcer is about to announce Charlotte as the winner(?!) Sasha fights out of her neck brace and beats down two paramedics to enter the Cell. The bell is rung! The match is finally on the way ladies and gentlemen.
They exchange offence, but the whole match is playing out along the lines of Charlotte targetting Sasha’s injured and compromised back, and the Boss trying to fight out to establish her own offence.
Sasha sends Charlotte outside and slams her into the steel, but it still isn’t enough for Charlotte to stay down. They introduce a steel chair into the ring, setting it up, and the fight seems to center around who gets to slam the other one’s head onto it.
Charlotte wins that battle as she drops Sasha back first onto the chair! What a painful looking spot! Charlotte, however, is relentless as she uses the ringpost to bend Sasha the wrong way, with her back being the targetted area again.
Sasha fights out with a boot to Charlotte’s face, before nailing her against the Cell with repeated double knees. Sasha has taken over here, as she looks to dish out some punishment of her own. Double knees off the turnbuckles with a chair underneath certainly qualifies as that, as Charlotte seems helpless.
Not for long though, as Charlotte creates enough separation to buy herself time enough to set up a table on the outside. While she tries to set Sasha up for a Suplex off the turnbuckle onto the table, she slips and Sasha capitalises enough to kick her onto the table! Through the table Charlotte goes!
Sasha isn't satisfied however, as she sets up another table in the ring. Meanwhile, Charlotte recovers enough to slam Sasha on the table twice, both times without it breaking. Weird. But you know what’s even more absurd?
That Charlotte lands Natural Selection out of nowhere and covers Sasha Banks! 1,2,3! Charlotte wins!
Result: Charlotte def Sasha Banks via pinfall
That ending seemed so rushed and unconvincing. Was she even supposed to win? Was Sasha Banks legitimately too injured to continue? This match seemed so confusing. After starting off on a tear, it was a match filled with mediocre spots and not enough storytelling.
For a rowdy Boston crowd that was so whole-heartedly behind Sasha Banks, that was a shocker of an ending that left everyone disappointed.
