The co-main event of Crown Jewel was the SmackDown Women's Championship triple threat match. As with nearly every match on the card - it delivered, and possibly even exceeded expectations. These were three of the top four women in WWE right now, with only Charlotte Flair not present.

The confusion of the situation at Crown Jewel was the fact that Becky Lynch was drafted to RAW with the SmackDown women's title, and Charlotte Flair was sent the other way holding the RAW Women's title.

Sasha Banks, in particular, had the opportunity and responsibility of bringing the SmackDown women's title back to the home brand, but she couldn't get the job done. All three women played their roles to perfection, with Becky Lynch spending a good deal of time on the sides to avoid taking too much offense.

She got beaten up and thrown around but picked up the win at Crown Jewel by pinning Sasha Banks. The commentators pointed out the confusion of the titles being on the opposite brands post-Crown Jewel. They didn't hint at a title swap between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, but we may just see that happen.

Also, the fact that Bianca Belair wasn't pinned shows WWE's seriousness towards pushing her as the long-term face of the women's division.
