Kudos to Sasha Banks and Charlotte for upping the ante in their feud over the WWE Women’s Championship on Monday night.

The two women squared off for a contract signing for their history-making Hell in a Cell title match on Sunday, and they proceeded to lay into each other. Charlotte pointed out that Sasha has been injured almost as much as she’s been healthy this year, that the women’s title means nothing without the Queen, and that Banks will respect her when it’s all over. Sasha pledged to be the best women’s champ and would go through hell to prove it.

There was a palpable tension, aided in strong part by Mick Foley (more on him later), and it really made the title match feel special – and not just because it’s the first women’s HIAC match.
