Bianca Belair and IYO SKY put on a show Saturday, with Belair defeating SKY to retain her WWE RAW Women’s Championship.
In a stellar opening match for the premium live event, Belair and Sky put on a show, but in the end “The EST” managed to overcome some late intereference from Bayley to help continue her reign. Late in the match, Bayley appeared and attempted to grab Belair, while Dakota Kai tried to help out Sky. However, after a missed moonsault from SKY, Belair eventually hit the KOD on Sky for the win.
The victory now means that Belair will become the longest-reigning female champion in WWE’s modern era, a huge accomplishment for the superstar.
