Iyo Sky was the latest to make full use of the Money In The Bank briefcase, stealing the WWE Women’s Championship from Bianca Belair at Summerslam.
Tonight, she does the hard work of a champion as she looks to defend her belt against two former champions in Charlotte Flair and Asuka. She doesn’t need to be pinned or submitted to lose her belt, meaning she needs to be on high alert.

Iyo Sky would choose to leave Damage CTRL partner Bayley in the back, saying she has a plan coming into tonight.
Flair would hit a big boot to Sky as the match began, before Asuka would spray Flair in the face with the poison mist. Asuka would try to roll up Flair for the win, but Sky would break the pinfall up.
Flair would be checked out by the ringside doctors, as Sky & Asuka would fight in the ring. A running roundhouse kick to Sky would land, as Flair hit the ring with a big boot to Asuka.
Fallaway Slam on Sky would send the champion flying, before Asuka & Sky worked together to try to gain ground against Flair, taking two to beat Flair.
Sky would drop Asuka with the hotshot using the top rope before a Springboard Dropkick. Asuka would fire back with a German Suplex as she caught Sky on the top rope, before a sliding kick from Asuka landed.
Flair would hit the ring once again, and cut down both opponents with swift strikes. A backbreaker would be followed by Flair hitting a step over double lariat – getting a two count.
