#2. Sasha Banks retains her SmackDown Women's Championship via disqualification at The Royal Rumble

Sasha Banks defends her Women's Championship against Carmella as part of tonight's Royal Rumble pay-per-view, but this isn't the first time the two women have faced off in recent months.

Ahead of their bout at TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs back in December, Carmella and Sasha Banks faced off in a Women's Championship match on SmackDown where The Boss was able to retain her Championship via disqualification.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

As the Champion, Banks has a small advantage over her opponent at The Royal Rumble, which means that she could get herself disqualified or even lose by count-out and still retain her SmackDown Women's Championship, even if the disqualification is intentional.

Back in December, Banks was disqualified when she refused to stop attacking her opponents when the referee used the five-count. If The Boss feels as though her title is slipping away from her once again this weekend, then it could be in her best interests for her to get herself disqualified and live to fight another day.
