Nia Jax is the Queen of the Ring and WWE Women's Champion.
At WWE SummerSlam, Nia Jax defeated Bayley to capture the WWE Women's Title. The match was the classic tale of Bayley fighting from underneath as Nia Jax used her strength to dominate the former champion. Bayley even attempted to use the guillotine choke, which she had previously defeated Nia with at NXT TakeOver: London 2015.
Bayley also tried to get the win with the Bayley 2 Belly. A pair of AnNiahilators ultimately sealed the deal and ended Bayley's reign. However, Jax needed more than one attempt with the maneuver, as Bayley kicked out on the first attempt.
Bayley also had to thwart the attempted Money in the Bank cash-in of Tiffany Stratton. This was further used as a distraction to help Nia hit two devastating Powerbombs and her finisher.

This is Nia Jax's second time holding the WWE Women's Title and the first time in six years. Bayley held the title for 119 days, defeating IYO Sky for the gold at WWE WrestleMania XL night two.
After the match, Jax celebrated with her aunt, Ata Johnson, and her mom.
