However, the former champion Sasha Banks seems to disagree, saying that the only reason the Raw Title isn't on her shoulder tonight is because of Toni Storm, and Sasha will prove she's right in her rematch tonight on Raw.

Before she could finish her talk, Sasha Banks ran to the ramp to attack Storm and Charlotte simply left the ring with a smile on her face perhaps teasing she will move on from her feud with Sasha Banks.
