For months following WrestleMania, fans assumed that Sasha Banks would finally get her Women's Championship victory at SummerSlam. While that was originally the plan, WWE decided to kick the new era of Raw off with a bang. On the first episode of the brand split era, Banks defeated Charlotte in a great match to win the title. The rematch is set for SummerSlam.

There's no question that Banks is going to retain her title - she chased Charlotte for too long just to lose the belt back in a few weeks. Dana Brooke might get involved - despite the fact that Banks won a match to guarantee that Brooke was banned from ringside - but either way, the champion is making Charlotte tap out to the Banks Statement.

The real question is what happens after the match. With the central program in the women's division over, it's time for something new to start. That something will be a feud between Banks and Nia Jax, who will come down to ringside and make it clear that she wants the Women's Championship.
