The WWE SmackDown Women's Championship wasn't defended at Money in the Bank this year following Bayley's recent injury. Fortunately, The Queen and The Nightmare were still able to do battle for the WWE RAW Women's Championship.
Rhea Ripley put up quite the fight and was able to go toe-to-toe with Charlotte throughout the match. The WWE Universe made it clear that they wanted Becky Lynch throughout the opening exchanges, but the match was so solid that it turned them around.

The crowd went from chanting "We want Becky" to "This is Awesome" before the final moments saw Rhea Ripley tapping out to Charlotte Flair's Figure 8, making her an incredible 14-time WWE Women's Champion.
Flair is now just two titles reigns away from equalling her father's 16-time record and three away from breaking it.
The Queen is already the most decorated female wrestler in WWE history. It appears that she will be the one to finally break her father's long-standing title reign record.
