RAW Women's Championship Match Set For WWE Money In The Bank

By Colby Faria

Bianca Belair has a challenger for WWE Money In The Bank.

During the 6/20 episode of WWE "RAW", Carmella defeated Becky Lynch, Asuka, Alexa Bliss, and Liv Morgan to earn an opportunity at the RAW Women's Championship against Bianca Belair at Money In The Bank. Bliss picked up the win after taking out Morgan with a super kick for the 1-2-3.

Carmella has a history at Money In The Bank, winning the first-ever women's iteration of the match in 2017, where her former manager James Ellsworth retrieved the briefcase for her. The win was overturned and a rematch was set up on the following week's episode of "SmackDown", in which Carmella came victorious yet again. "The Princess of Staten Island" would successfully cash in her contract on then SmackDown Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair on the April 10, 2018 edition of "SmackDown".

Belair will be making her second on-screen title defense since defeating then-champion Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania 38, this past April. "The EST. of WWE" has made several defenses on the live event scene throughout the past couple of months, working against both Asuka and the aforementioned Lynch.
