Banks submits Bliss at SummerSlam, wins Raw Women's Championship
The women's division on "Monday Night Raw" once again belongs to The Boss.
A second title for the female superstars in WWE changed hands at SummerSlam on Sunday night at the Barclays Center, with Sasha Banks submitting Alexa Bliss with her Bank Statement to become Raw Women's Champion for a fourth time.

Earlier in the show, Natalya made Naomi tap out to become the Women's Champion over on the SmackDown Live brand.
Banks showed a tremendous level of resiliency against Bliss, kicking out of a Twisted Bliss at the count of two.

With Bliss throwing a tantrum, upset over her inability to keep her adversary down, Banks tied her up in the Bank Statement, with Bliss even reversing it into a pinfall.
Banks eventually rolled back into her submission, making Bliss tap in agony.
The Boston native now ties Charlotte for the most title reigns on "Raw" since the title was re-introduced at WrestleMania 32 last year.
