Who run the world?
Well, this week it’s the ladies of WWE thankyouverymuch.
On Monday Night Raw, the women main-evented with the first ever Gauntlet match that ended in a Sasha Banks victory.
@SashaBanksWWE vs @NiaJaxWWE Best damn performance ever girls should be freaking proud

Less than 24 hours later, the women of Smackdown Live took to the ladders again in their second Money in the Bank match and Carmella took home the briefcase.
My prediction is the bar will continue to be raised!!! #GoGetEmLadies !!!!

It became three main events in a row when Asuka and Nikki Cross battled in a violent Last Woman Standing match.
Unbelieveable match. Could've main evented any show or PPV. https://t.co/QfsNU10Jmo

That match is what it's about. I'm still not sure how to put it under words, maybe that says it all. @NikkiCrossWWE @WWEAsuka

adding to that, @NikkiCrossWWE is an inspiration to an entire generation of female competitors that is coming up now.

WWE acknowledged the historic feat and here’s hoping Sasha Banks and Killian Dain’s exchange comes true:
Let's make this a normal thing https://t.co/OLXR6uo9DM

Killian Dain believes it can:
With the level of talent involved it will be! https://t.co/XNc16YSwnq
