A new WWE champion was crowned at today's SummerSlam live event. In one of the main events, a triple-threat match between Asuka, Bianca Belair, and Charlotte Flair was set for the Women's Championship.

During the bout, Belair got injured when Flair threw her outside the ring. The former was taken backstage for treatment but she refused and came back into the ring. Even with an injured knee, she managed to win the title, but her happiness did not last long as IYO SKY came in with the MITB briefcase to cash it in.

IYO managed to successfully cash in the briefcase and became the new Women's Champion. Following the win, the Damage CTRL teammates were seen celebrating it backstage in a video posted by WWE on Instagram.
