Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Becky Lynch vs Carmella vs Charlotte Flair vs Natalya vs Tamina Snuka
Result: Carmella wins the briefcase
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
In the main event of the evening, five of the top women on SmackDown Live competed in the second ever female Money in the Bank ladder match. Understanding the stakes of tonight’s contest, all five women appeared ready for a war. The moment the bell ring, everyone in the ring engaged in the physicality.
Sensing an opportunity to end things early, Carmella grabbed a ladder and tried to climb while everyone was distracted. However, her attempt was noticed by the other competitors, who in turn proceeded to take her out of the equation for a moment. One by one, the women in the ring took each other out until a Superfly Splash by Tamina onto Becky Lynch sent us into another commercial break.
When the cameras turned back to the action at hand, Charlotte Flair was setting a ladder up inside of the ring. Natalya stopped her from climbing, and in turn, she was dropped by Tamina. Carmella tried to take advantage, but she was launched over the announce table by the female powerhouse. The action shifted back to inside the ring from here, with each woman getting a chance to shine.
Later on in the match, Carmella had her hands on the briefcase, but all four of her opponents lifted the ladder away so she couldn’t unhook it. This led to women taking one another out yet again, which led to James Ellsworth heading out to assist Carmella. However, Lynch made the save and sent Ellsworth tumbling off the ladder. The distraction aided Carmella though, allowing her to take Lynch out to secure the briefcase once again.
