This'll be the second time Carmella has done a pretty good job of panicking folk about Sasha Banks' SmackDown Championship reign.

'The Boss' won a Hell In A Cell match and a rematch against her former best friend Bayley to get shot of those curses, but a profound anxiety gripped the impromptu television match the two inexplicably had just 9 days before this one.

A fresh pairing when many current women's matches aren't, the match was PPV-ready from the off, with the particularly violent beatdowns from Challenger to Champion a welcome way to effortlessly transition Banks away from a programme she'd been in for the better part of a year. It does however face a certain pressure - it needs to bang.

Hard to gauge anyway in the ThunderDome, the validity of Carmella's claims for the belt needs to show itself even in defeat. That the booking of their initial match leaned into her love of champagne doesn't bode particularly well, but hopefully the Sunday setting will steer away from similar frivolities.

Winner - Sasha Banks
