This was arguably the biggest match scheduled for this week’s WWE RAW. Asuka had the chance of punching her ticket to WWE SummerSlam for a shot at Sasha Banks' RAW Women’s Championship, only if she could defeat Bayley this week.

Asuka was aggressive from the opening bell and the two women traded the action as the lights in the arena continued to flicker.

The Boss, who was present at ringside, tried her best to distract the referee so Bayley could get in a few cheap shots on The Empress. Bayley went after the legs of Asuka to slow her down and try to eliminate the Asuka Lock from her arsenal.

While The Role Model had control of the match, she took too long mocking Kairi Sane and allowed The Empress to catch her in the Asuka Lock to make her tap out.

This was a big victory for Asuka over the SmackDown Women’s Champion who had been causing a lot of difficulties for her. While The Empress was simply handed the RAW Women’s Championship after her Money in the Bank victory by Becky Lynch, she will have to be at her absolute best to regain it by defeating Banks at WWE SummerSlam.
