Sky, Vaquer battle for supremacy

After cashing in her Money in the Bank contract while SKY was defending the title against Rhea Ripley at WWE Evolution and winning the ensuing Triple Threat Match, Naomi held the championship for a little more than a month before announcing that she was pregnant and vacating the title.

Two weeks later, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce revealed that the vacant championship would be decided in a match between two worthy contenders: Stephanie Vaquer, who won the Battle Royal at WWE Evolution to earn a title opportunity, and IYO SKY, who was scheduled to challenge Naomi before the titleholder revealed she was pregnant.
