A tale as old as time played out on SmackDown this week, can they coexist?
Ahead of them challenging Asuka for the WWE Women’s Title Bianca Belair and Charlotte Flair teamed up to face the WWE Women’s Tag Twam Champions Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green.
The final moments of the match had Flair get a blind tag as Belair had Green up and ready for the KOD. Flair hit a big boot on Green causing her to fall off of Belair’s shoulder. The two argue before Flair pins Green to get the victory.
The champion Asuka appears later in a locker room segment between IYO SKY and Bayley. Asuka says that if SKY considers to cash in on her then she will regret that decision forever.
SKY responds saying it doesn’t matter who wins at SummerSlam because she will be leaving as WWE Women’s Champion.
Prior to the July 21 episode of SmackDown, it was confirmed that Asuka will face both Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair in a Triple Threat at SummerSlam for the WWE Women’s Title. Flair would be in action following this announcement against a woman who will be paying very close attention to that Triple Threat – Ms. Money in the Bank IYO SKY.
The match between the two was very back and forth and was given plenty of time. The match started to breakdown when Bayley came off of commentary to cause a distraction to Flair. SKY took advantage and went for a Sunset Flip Powerbomb off the top rope. Flair was able to kick out.
A montage of Shotzi cutting her hair from last week with her maniacal laugh played on the big screen which freaked out Bayley. She kept looking around and told SKY she had to go as she retreated to backstage. SKY being left alone continued to fight off Flair.
The two continue to get near falls back and forth by trading moonsaults and even submissions. It came down to Natural Selection to put away SKY as Flair emerged victorious. Her celebration didn’t take place though as the WWE Women’s Champion Asuka attacked Flair from behind getting the last laugh.
Moments later in the women’s locker room we saw Bayley and SKY arguing about what happened out at the ring. Bayley kept telling SKY that they need to go and to worry about it later. It was then that Bayley saw her luggage was sliced up and there was a photo of her with scissors stabbed into it. Bayley and SKY fled out of the locker room.

Charlotte Flair entered this week’s SmackDown in the United Kingdom attempting to become a 15-time champion. She faced a familiar foe in Asuka for the WWE Women’s Championship.
One woman who wasn’t in the match but has been upset that she hasn’t received her rematch is Bianca Belair. Adam Pearce had previously told her that she could not be at ringside for this match, so she played the game and purchased a ticket to be front row.
The final moments of the match had both Flair and Asuka on the outside. Asuka was at the barricade in front of Belair. Flair went for a big boot and Asuka pulled Belair in the way which is who Flair hit instead. Moments later once Belair composed herself, she hopped the barricade and went right after Asuka causing the disqualification. Belair continued her attack on Flair who warned her about putting her hand in her face.
Belair would stand tall in the end after hitting a KOD on both Asuka and Flair on top of the commentary table.
The other women’s match of the night was Bayley vs. Shotzi. A match that was cut last week happened tonight and it had Bayley’s spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match on the line. If Shotzi would have won then she would have replaced Bayley.
Bayley would win the match and remain in MITB. The final moments had IYO SKY help her Damage CTRL partner by placing her foot on the rope as Shotzi was near a count of three. This distracted Shotzi and then the referee who tried to get SKY to back off. While the official wasn’t looking, Bayley raked the eyes of Shotzi and hit her with Rose Plant to get the three count.
After the match and moments later backstage, Shotzi came running up to Damage CTRL saying she isn’t finished with them yet. The numbers game was too much for Shotzi who was taken down on top of a table. Bayley grabbed a pair of scissors as SKY held down Shotzi and cut a chunk of her hair. Bayley left with the hair in hand.
In a promo backstage, AJ Styles accepted a challenge from Karrion Kross and stated that if his woman (Scarlett) was to get involved then he has someone who can stop that as Michin appeared.

If you missed the June 26 episode of Raw then here is what happened on the last Raw before Money in the Bank this weekend.
All six women who will compete in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, (Becky Lynch, Zoey Stark, IYO SKY, Bayley, Trish Stratus, and Zelina Vega) met for a summit discussion.
The segment kicked off with Corey Graves attempting to explain the rules to the match but Bayley interrupted him. She boasted that she is the only woman in this year’s match who has won one of these and she would put down the crowd saying they likely don’t know the rules of the match even though everyone else does.
After SKY got in a few words stating basically that she can win the briefcase, the discussion shifted to Zelina Vega. Vega provides reasons why she will become Ms. Money in the Bank and every other woman in the match will not. She pointed out that Trish Stratus may be a Hall of Famer but she has never been in a ladder match.
Stratus took to the mic to respond but shortly thereafter when she addresses Lynch things got physical. She says when everything is said and done and she wins the briefcase can Lynch be man enough to say Thank You Trish?
Lynch launched the first punch which first had Stratus and Stark on her as Damage CTRL targeted Vega. Eventually everyone would spill out of the ring except for SKY and Lynch. SKY would be launched onto the ring apron before taking out the field on the outside with a moonsault. Lynch climbs up a ladder and unhooks the briefcase signaling what we may see take place this Saturday as she stands tall.
Elsewhere on Raw, Ronda Rousey won a match against Raquel Rodriguez. Rodriguez showed how she can overpower over Rousey, but a distraction on the outside would allow Rousey to take advantage and get the pin. On the outside, Morgan leapt off the steel steps and took down Shayna Baszler. These two teams meet on Saturday for the Undisputed Women’s Tag Team Titles.
Later on in the night, Lynch and the Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley ran into each other. Lynch says when she was champion she was busy main eventing Raw. Now that Ripley is champion she is too busy being the side champion of the main event.

However Rodriguez was able to pin Bayley picking up the win.
As Night of Champions is set for tomorrow, the Raw Women’s Champion addressed her opponent Asuka. Belair stated the Asuka she knew at WrestleMania she respected. But this Asuka? She does not. She was not happy about Asuka interrupting her home championship celebration a few weeks ago. Asuka’s music would hit and she would emerge from behind Belair in the ring
Asuka locked in an arm bar and wouldn’t release until officials had to come out and break it up. The women broke free and Belair went for the KOD but Asuka landed on the officials. She quickly rolled out of the ring and laughed as she exited up the ramp.
Diva Dirt will have a Night of Champions Discussion Post ready to go at 1 PM ET on Saturday.
Asuka is back and is on her new home of SmackDown.

Reluctant at first, Belair shook Asuka’s hand but was greeted eith the blue mist right to her face.
Belair sold the mist perfectly as officials came down to the ring to help her and keep Asuka away.
Elsewhere on SmackDown this week, the tag titles were on the line as the champs Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez defended them. Their opponents were Bayley and Dakota Kai of Damage CTRL. IYO SKY was at ringside.
The match was solid between the two teams. The final moments had Bayley instructing SKY to grab a title belt for her to use while Kai was laid out on the outside.
