• Becky Lynch defeated Bianca Belair to win the Smackdown Women’s Championship in 25 seconds.
  • Becky Lynch interrupted Bianca Belair vs. Carmella after Sasha Banks was confirmed to be off the show.
  • No reason given. Lynch took out Carmella, challenged Belair, and then gave her a cheapshot after a handshake to win in a squash match. Pathetic.
• Drew McIntyre defeated Jinder Mahal (with Veer and Shanky)
• Triple Threat match: Charlotte Flair defeated Nikki A.S.H. (Nikki Cross) and Rhea Ripley to win the WWE Raw Women’s Championship. Seriously.
• Edge defeated Seth Rollins via crossface submission in maybe the match of the night.

After the beatdown, MVP claims Lashley didn’t know it was Gage attacking him from behind. Unfortunately, it looks like this feud must continue.
• WWE Money in The Bank 2022 PPV announced for Las Vegas, NV.
