Bianca Belair mocked Sasha on SmackDown for stabbing her in the back instead of just asking for a match. Sasha told her to 'get real' before they started yelling and Sonya said she was done with their drama and told them to sign the contract as SmackDown continued.

Banks refused to sign unless she had some 'witnesses'. Carmella and Zelina Vega walked out next and joined Banks on her side of the ring. Banks taunted Bianca once more before they both signed the contract.

Belair realized it was a trap and attacked Banks, Vega, and Carmella before they could attack her. Belair managed to clear the ring and sent Carmella outside but Banks came in and hit a backstabber before setting her up on the table in the ring and smashing her head into it before standing over her with the title.

Banks sent a painful message to the champ

Banks locked in the Banks Statement with Bianca's braids before SmackDown went off the air.
