Sasha Banks made history at Hell in a Cell this Sunday. Not only did she end Bayley’s record 380 days reign but also became the first Superstar in history to win all major women’s titles in one calendar year.

Once best friends, tag team champions, and double champions, they are now bitter enemies after Bayley brutally attacked “The Boss” last month at Payback. This was Sasha’s third match inside the steel structure.

After the match, Banks was interviewed backstage with her first-ever SmackDown women’s title. She truly emerged as the “Boss of the Cell.” However, she praised her opponent despite the animosity between the two.

“I defeated the longest-reigning SmackDown Women’s Champion in history, my former best friend, Bayley. Bayley was an incredible champion. She was the longest-reigning- the first-ever Grand Slam women’s champion. But tonight I just proved once again why I’m the Boss and why I’m Sasha Banks.”

She made Bayley tap out as she put her into the Bank Statement with a steel chair, similar to the one on SmackDown last Friday during the contract signing.
