In a dramatic turn of events at WWE SummerSlam, history was made as IYO SKY, the 2023 Women's Money in the Bank winner, capitalized on her opportunity and captured the WWE Women's Championship. The electrifying contest featured a roller-coaster of emotions as the resilient SKY overcame the odds to secure her first singles title on the main roster.

The match began with an intense battle between the reigning champion, ASUKA, and the fierce challenger, Charlotte Flair, with both Superstars leaving no stone unturned in their quest for victory. As the action unfolded, a moment of concern arose when Bianca Belair, who had previously defeated ASUKA for the title at WWE Night of Champions, appeared to sustain a knee injury.

However, displaying her unparalleled determination, Belair returned to the ring and pulled off a roll-up pin to retain her championship briefly.

SKY's Sneak Attack Secures WWE Championship

In a shocking twist, IYO SKY, the enigmatic member of the infamous DAMAGE CTRL stable, stormed the scene with opportunistic precision.

With Belair's knee still vulnerable from the earlier encounter, SKY pounced on the opportunity to unleash a ruthless assault on the injured joint using her Money in the Bank briefcase. Seizing the moment, she then executed a flawless to secure the pinfall, claiming the WWE Women's Championship to a chorus of stunned gasps and raucous cheers.

Throughout the championship clash, Bayley, another member of the DAMAGE CTRL faction, strategically made her presence felt, ensuring that no outside interference disrupted the contest. As SKY emerged victorious, her fellow stablemate Dakota Kai joined in the celebration, cementing the dominance of DAMAGE CTRL on the WWE landscape.

For ASUKA, the loss marked the end of an impressive title reign that had lasted since her triumph over Belair a few months prior. Her reign had been a testament to her unwavering skill and indomitable spirit as the Empress of Tomorrow.

Still, SKY's cunning maneuvering proved to be the undoing of the tenacious champion. The significance of this victory for IYO SKY cannot be understated as she ascends to the pinnacle of women's wrestling in WWE. Having previously held the NXT Women's Championship for an impressive 304 days, SKY's ascent to the main roster championship firmly establishes her as a formidable force to be reckoned with in the women's division.

With SummerSlam delivering such an unforgettable moment, the WWE Universe now eagerly anticipates the future clashes and challenges that lie ahead for the newly crowned WWE Women's Champion, IYO SKY. As her reign begins, one thing remains certain: this groundbreaking victory has forever changed the landscape of women's wrestling in WWE.
