Sasha cut a promo about why she loves wrestling and how hard she fought to get to WWE, then talked about the women’s revolution. She says Charlotte beat her straight up at WWE Summerslam, but she also tried to break her back. Sasha says she got news from her doctor earlier today, and went to make her announcement when Dana Brooke cut her off. Dana went to the ring to attack her and finish what Charlotte started, but Sasha surprised her with a Backstabber and the Banks Statement, and revealed she was coming for Charlotte and the title at WWE Clash of Champions.

WWE.com confirmed the title match, posting the following:
The Boss is back, and she’s coming for the Raw Women’s Champion.
Newly returned from a back injury that put her out of action for several weeks, Sasha Banks will invoke her title rematch clause at WWE Clash of Champions Sunday, Sept. 25, as she challenges Charlotte for the top prize in Raw’s Women’s division.
It was against Charlotte at SummerSlam that Sasha suffered her injury and lost the Raw Women’s Title. Charlotte targeted Sasha’s lower back throughout that contest, seemingly in a deliberate attempt to put The Boss on the shelf. Since then, the self-proclaimed “genetically superior athlete” has dogged Sasha for working her entire career to win the Women’s Title, only to lose it in her first championship defense.
Fueled by the desire to reclaim the crown, Sasha claims she is back and better than ever, but will that prove to be the case at WWE Clash of Champions? Charlotte and Sasha have split their last two classic battles, both of which floored the WWE Universe with their physicality. In a rivalry marked by parity and riveting back-and-forth competition, the upcoming title bout may go a long way in settling the question of which Superstar truly is superior.
Don’t miss out when this legendary Raw Women’s Championship series continues at WWE Clash of Champions, the first Raw-exclusive pay-per-view of The New Era. Watch the action live on the award-winning WWE Network Sunday, Sept. 25, at 8 ET/5 PT.
