WWE booked WWE RAW Women’s Champion Asuka vs. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Sasha Banks on the card for Sunday’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view event in Orlando, Florida at the WWE Performance Center.
The finish saw Asuka accidentally spray the green mist into the eyes of the referee. Bayley hit Asuka in the back with the title. Bayley put the referee shirt on and counted the pinfall as Banks pinned Asuka. Banks was never announced as the champion
Dave Meltzer reported on today’s Wrestling Observer Radio episode that this was apparently a last minute decision as Asuka was originally set to emerge victorious over Banks.
This change was done by Vince McMahon in an effort to increase the Raw viewership numbers as he hopes fans will tune in to the show to see the fallout.
