Sasha Banks is the New NXT Women’s Champion

Sasha Banks is the new NXT Women’s Champion. The NXT superstar claimed her first title reign during the NXT special, “NXT Take Over: Rival” on Feb. 11.

Banks was part of a highly acclaimed Fatal 4 Way Match during the show, where she challenged Bayley, Becky Lynch, and former NXT Women’s Champion, Charlotte. The match was a work of art, and is being labeled as one of the best matches in women’s wrestling history, as it was a first for NXT to have the Women’s Championship on the line in a Fatal 4 Way Match.

All four women showed up and showed out during the match, hitting some grueling high-flying spots, as well as laying some stiff shots and suplexes. After receiving a “Bayley-toBelly” suplex from Bayley off the top rope, Charlotte was placed in a submission hold by Banks, a grounded cross-face, which then led to her dropping the hold and rolling Charlotte over onto her shoulders for the one-two-three.

Banks is only the third woman ever to hold the title behind Paige, and Charlotte.

Editor’s Note:
That Women’s Championship match was something else. It actually begs the question: WHY DON’T WE SEE THESE TYPES OF MATCHES ON THE MAIN ROSTER BETWEEN THE WOMEN?!
