The WWE Women’s Championship remains with Nia Jax after her brutal Street Fight against Michin.

Michin strolled to the ring with a host of weapons and brought the fight right to the champion, leading to a chaotic collision between the two.

The challenger planted the champion with a thunderous powerbomb through a table, leading Tiffany Stratton to appear and seemingly consider cashing in her Money in the Bank contract.

Stratton ended up deciding against it, however, and a returning Bayley chased her away from the scene. Jax capitalized on the madness and planted Michin through a table before hitting an Annihilator to retain her title.
