Naomi cashed in her Money in the Bank contract, to become the new WWE Women’s World Championship at Sunday’s Evolution.
Below is an excerpt from our WWE Evolution recap of how it all went down.
Sky grabs Ripley and starts bouncing her off the walls and stomping her on the steps. Sky sends Ripley over the barricade, and they’re back at ringside. Sky goes for a Bullet Train Attack against the commentary table, but Ripley moves. Sky hits ribs-first on the table, reigniting the pain in her injured ribs. Ripley gets Sky in the ring and climbs to the apron. Sky goes for a sunset flip powerbomb off the apron, but Ripley holds the ropes. Sky pulls her away and hits a STIFF powerbomb on the floor! Sky heads to the top rope and hits the Over the Moonsault as Jessika Carr gets in the ring! 1… 2… Ripley kicks out! The crowd (and IYO SKY) are stunned!
The crowd loudly chants, “Rhea.” Sky double stomps her and heads back to the top rope. Ripley rolls to the apron to save herself. Sky grabs Ripley, but Ripley punches her away and slams her face off the top of the ring post. Ripley smiles and climbs the ropes. Ripley is on the top rope, but Sky counters with a Spanish Fly!
Both women are down… and Naomi heads to the ring with Daphanie LaShaun as the referee! Naomi is cashing in, making this a Triple Threat Match!
Sky waits for Naomi to hit her with the briefcase, but Naomi wasn’t ready. Naomi then rocks her with a briefcase shot. Naomi attacks Ripley and sends her into the ring post. Naomi, who has her bloodied nose taped up from her war with Jade Cargill, hits Sky with a split-legged moonsault for the win!
