One year on top.
Bianca Belair successfully retained her WWE Raw Women's Championship against Asuka at WrestleMania 39.
The finish saw Bianca power out of an armbar and turn it into a KOD for the victory. During the bout, Asuka tried to use the mist, but Bianca ducked, leading to a striking exchange between the two. Asuka countered one KOD by rolling through and locking in the armbar before Bianca powered out to finally hit the KOD.
