Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks could be set to take the WWE RAW Women's Championship from Asuka tonight.

This theory is the result of strong detective work from wrestling journalist Gary Cassidy, who found an irregularity in images Banks posted to social media over the weekend.

Cassidy's tweet breaks it down:-

That Banks is wearing the same outfit on SmackDown and in the studio shot suggests that the images were captured on the same day. WWE filmed the 24 July episode of SmackDown on 21 July, three days after capturing footage for both the 20 and 27 July episodes of RAW, with Sasha's Women's Title fight with Asuka going down on the latter.

It is entirely possible that Asuka will walk away from a successful title defence tonight, though it's an interesting observation and a good spot nonetheless.

Banks has technically "held" the RAW Women's Title after stealing it from Asuka following a screw The Horror Show at Extreme Rules finish. Bayley put on a referee's shirt and counted the three for her partner, though WWE doesn't recognise this as an official title defence, with 'The Empress of Tomorrow' still listed as champion on their official website.
