Sasha Banks became Women's Champion for the second time after beating Charlotte in the main event of Monday night's WWE Raw.
The Boss submitted Ric Flair's daughter with her Bank Statement crossface inside the Staples Center in Los Angeles to regain the title she lost at SummerSlam in August.
Charlotte - who successfully defended the belt against Banks and Bayley at Clash of Champions in September - targeted Banks' back during the match, including slamming her rival onto the ring apron and performing a corkscrew moonsault onto her off the turnbuckle.
The champion, however, was eventually caught in an initial Bank Statement and although she wriggled free, Banks quickly applied the move again to seal the victory.
Cruiserweight Champion TJ Perkins also tapped out as he lost to Brian Kendrick via Captain's Hook in a non-title match, while Tony Nese - beaten by Perkins last week - downed Rich Swann with a modified Michinoku Driver.
WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day quashed Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens' hopes of earning a championship shot when they beat Jeri-Ko - thanks to an assist from Seth Rollins.
Rollins - still fuming from Jericho helping Owens beat him in Clash of Champions' Universal Title match - distracted Jericho allowing Xavier Woods and Big E to nail Y2J with Midnight Hour.
Owens quickly scarpered after the match, leaving Rollins - still feeling the effects of the rib injury he suffered at Raw's previous pay-per-view - free to hit Jericho with a Pedigree.
The New Day will defend their titles against Cesaro and Sheamus next up - the Irishman and the Swiss earning a warm-up win over local Los Angeles talents Raul White and Mark Carradine.
Former Tag Title challengers Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson made light work of Goldust and R-Truth, while Sami Zayn conquered Titus O'Neil with an exploder suplex and a Helluva Kick.
Braun Strowman decimated Chase Silver, before demanding that Raw General Manager Mick Foley hand him stronger competition on next week's show in Oakland.
Plus, Bayley and Dana Brooke came to blows backstage, leaving the latter unable to interfere in the Women's Title match between her mentor Charlotte and new champion Banks.
