Sasha Banks Makes History With Smackdown Title Win

[Kemo]

Sasha Banks is your new Smackdown Women’s Champion. She defeated Bayley inside Hell in a Cell on PPV last night. With the win, Banks is now just the 3rd female grand-slam champion in WWE. She’s won the WWE women’s tag-team, NXT, RAW, and Smackdown women’s championship. Only Becky Lynch and Asuka have done the same.

Banks is a 1x NXT champion, 5x RAW champion, 2x Women’s tag champion with Bayley, and now a 1x Smackdown women’s champion.

Bayley became the 1st ever women’s grand slam winner on May 19th, 2019. That was when she first won the Smackdown women’s title. She had previously won the RAW title in 2017 and the tag titles with Sasha banks in 2019. Bayley first won the NXT title in 2015.

Asuka became the 2nd grand-slam winner in WWE women’s divisions on May 10th, 2020 when she won the RAW Women’s Championship. She won the MITB match and it was revealed on RAW the next night that the match was actually for the RAW women’s title as Becky Lynch was vacating it. Asuka first won Smackdown women’s title on December 16th, 2018. She won the tag titles with Kairi Sane on October 6th, 2019. Asuka’s NXT reign began on April 1st, 2016.

Bad move putting the title on her in the first place, and if they where going to, it's way to soon in the feud.

Deserved she needed a big win

^^ Should have been at Wrestlemania 37. They should have milked the feud. Bayley's reign should have been ever more historical.

Well done to Banks. Bayley held that title got over a year. Whether it was the right time for the change or not, Bayley did do well.
