Naomi surprisingly cashed in her Money in the Bank (MITB) briefcase at Evolution 2 in the main event on Sunday night.
She originally won the Money in the Bank briefcase in June, fending off stars like Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss, and Stephanie Vanquer.
The 37-year-old competed on the second instalment of WWE all-women’s premium live event, Evolution, in a brutal No Holds Barred loss to Jade Cargill.
Some had predicted Ripley would dethrone Iyo Sky to become champion on Sunday night, but Naomi had other plans as she cashed in her briefcase to make an instant classic into a triple threat match.
Naomi successful in Money In The Bank cash-in, costing Ripley a potential title win
After tossing aside ‘Mami’ she hit her split-legged moonsault off the top rope to pin champion Sky and become the new women’s world titleholder.
Many fans in the arena and online were shocked at the cash-in, with many believing it would not be until Summerslam where she’d use the briefcase.
The women’s side of the MITB continues its 100% success rate since being introduced in 2017.
Now she is officially a three-time women’s champion alongside her numerous other accolades since her return to the company.
It was the only title change on the card, with women’s champion Tiffany Stratton defeating the WWE legend Trish Stratus.
A huge win for Stephanie Vanquer in the battle royal now earns her a shot at the title at Clash in Paris this August.
