WWE Money In The Bank 2021: 5 Interesting facts and stats

#2. First time in the history of the SmackDown Women's Championship that it hasn't been defended at WWE Money of the Bank

The SmackDown Women's Championship was unveiled in WWE at Backlash in 2016, where it was won by Becky Lynch. The Championship has since become the main title for the women on the blue brand and has been defended at every Money in the Bank pay-per-view since.

In 2017, Naomi and Lana battled it out for the Championship on the same night that the first-ever WWE Women's Money in the Bank ladder match took place.

In 2018, Money in the Bank winner from the previous year, Carmella successfully defended her Championship against Asuka.

The following year, Charlotte Flair was able to defeat Becky Lynch to win the SmackDown Women's Championship, before Bayley cashed in her contract.

Bayley was able to defeat Tamina as part of last year's Money in the Bank pay-per-view and was set to challenge for the Championship at this year's event.

Sadly, just a week before the show, Bayley was forced to pull out of the match after suffering an ACL tear. This means that for the first time in the history of the SmackDown Women's Championship it won't be defended at WWE Money in the Bank.
