Carmella's Money In The Bank tenure has been less than stellar in truth, despite the notoriety gained from her second grasp of the case after James Ellsworth's poorly received retrieval of it in the inaugural clash.

Rather than blindly forgetting about it, the company instead had her flaunt it without threat throughout the winter, adding unnecessary panic to her attempts to cash in since. 'The Princess Of Staten Island' no longer looks in an advantageous position - the precise purpose of having the golden opportunity in the first place.

Her eventual title clash should ultimately reflect this, and a crack at the brand new champion after a shattered endeavour against the former titleholder should provide a grand stage if not a grandiose conclusion.

Carmella screamed in terror the last time she came up against Asuka at the Royal Rumble, and will end up with even less dignity as they collide again. Kicked hard in the head with the last desperate lunge of the exhausted 'Empress', the first female cash-in will also be the first failed one - and Asuka's first successful title defence.
