Naomi waited for the most opportune moment in the Women’s World Championship match between Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley to cash in her Money in the Bank contract and deliver a shocking end to Evolution.
Naomi had been warning the WWE women’s division for weeks to “proceed with caution,” and on Sunday, she executed a strategic move that disrupted the match. The two competitors, Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley, were locked in an epic battle for the Women’s World Championship. They both pulled out all the stops, with Ripley delivering a Spanish Fly from the top ropes and Sky countering with a crossbody from sound equipment.
However, the match took an unexpected turn when Naomi, having waited for the perfect moment, rushed to the ring with a referee. She turned the one-on-one contest into a triple threat match, using the Money in the Bank briefcase to deliver a decisive blow to Sky. After her interference, Naomi pinned Sky and left Evolution as the new women’s world champion, marking her third title reign in her career.
Naomi had previously lost a no-holds-barred match against Jade Cargill, which left her with a bandage over her nose but not enough to interrupt the match at the right time. Instead, she was able to strategically cash in her contract during the title match.
Meanwhile, Stephanie Vaquer earned a shot at a women’s championship after winning the 20-woman battle royal. Her match against the Lash Legend was intense, and she managed to eliminate the Legend with the Devil’s Kiss move, securing her spot in the title match at Clash in Paris on August 31.
Other notable matches included Tiffany Stratton defeating Trish Stratus in a dream match, Becky Lynch retaining the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, Jacy Jayne holding off Jordynne Grace, and Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez successfully defending the Women’s Tag Team Championship. These victories contributed to a night of high-stakes competition and dramatic moments in WWE history.
