A most subjective of an "Up" perhaps, but when WWE welched on offering a finish in an otherwise-excellent Becky Lynch/Bianca Belair match, the excitement of seeing Sasha Banks turn this singles feud into a three-way dance overwhelmed any disillusionment with the p*ssweak finish.

Banks' return was as out-of-nowhere as her SummerSlam no-show. She picked the exact moment Belair looked set to win her title back, but destroyed both Champion and Challenger to make it clear that she still believes herself to be superior to both.

Judging by the response of the Columbus natives, it'll be exciting to watch her try and prove it. A singles match as a curtain raiser was a treat - Lynch was terrific working heel and every single hard/fast/strong/quick comeback from 'The EST' ruled more than the last - but the triple threat could well outstrip on it on this scintillating slice of evidence.
