At SummerSlam 2017, the WWE Universe witnessed a thrilling clash between two of the most talented and dynamic women in the industry—Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks—battling for the Raw Women’s Championship. The match was set against the backdrop of a heated rivalry, with Bliss, the reigning champion, confident and brimming with arrogance, and Banks, the challenger, determined to prove her worth and reclaim the title. The match began with Bliss trying to outsmart her opponent, using mind games and taunts to throw Banks off her game. Bliss’s strategy of exploiting Sasha’s past injuries, particularly her back, showcased her cunning approach.
Every move she made had precision, and she was relentless in her attacks, trying to slow down “The Boss” at every opportunity. Despite being smaller in stature, Bliss dominated large portions of the match, displaying why she had been such a formidable champion. However, Sasha Banks is known for her resilience, and she didn’t back down. As the match progressed, Banks began to gain momentum, fighting through the pain and pushing the limits of her endurance. She countered Bliss’s aggressive offence with technical brilliance, delivering her signature moves, including her high-flying arsenal and submission holds.
The crowd at the Barclays Center was on the edge of their seats as the two Superstars exchanged near-falls and submission attempts. The turning point came when Banks locked in her patented “Bank Statement” submission hold. Alexa Bliss fought desperately to escape, but Banks adjusted her grip and forced the champion to tap out, winning the match and becoming the Raw Women’s Champion for the fourth time. The victory was a testament to Sasha Banks’s tenacity and skill, while Alexa Bliss’s performance showed why she had been a top-tier competitor in WWE. The match was a highlight of SummerSlam 2017, a showcase of the evolution of women’s wrestling, and a moment fans would remember for years.
