SummerSlam was clearly supposed to be Bianca Belair’s special night as she finally won the WWE Women’s Championship in the Triple Threat match with Charlotte Flair and Asuka. But fate had other plans for her and her celebration was short-lived as Iyo Sky very sneakily cashed in her MITB right after Belair’s win.
Bayley also accompanied her to the ring and they both attacked an already exhausted Belair. Thus Sky pinned her to become the new WWE Women’s Champion. This is Sky’s first individual championship on the WWE main roster and it was definitely an auspicious moment.
And who better to congratulate her on her win than the man who carried out the ‘Heist Of The Century’ at WrestleMania 31 using his own MITB contract? Seth Rollins was waiting backstage for Sky and when she arrived, he gave her a big hug as he knows the pure joy this kind of win gives.

But just when both the wrestlers lay all exhausted in the middle of the ring, Seth Rollins came running down quickly and cashed in his MITB. Thus making that match a Triple Threat match. Then as Lesnar was about to F-5 Rollins and finish the proceedings, Reigns came out of nowhere and slammed him with a thunderous spear.
