Sasha Banks teased earlier on Monday that she would deliver bad news on tonight’s Raw, but it turns out that was only directed at Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte.

Following a promo designed to misdirect the audience into thinking she was retiring, Banks declared her intentions to challenge Charlotte for the Women’s Championship at Clash of Champions on September 25th.

Dana Brooke interrupted Banks in the middle of the promo. Brooke tried to take advantage of Banks’ injured state, but Banks hit the Banks Statement on her. Banks then revealed the news that she was ready to return to the ring.

After originally defeating Charlotte for the title on the first post-draft edition of Raw, Banks dropped it back to Charlotte at SummerSlam because of a back injury she was dealing with. But Dave Meltzer reported that the injury wouldn’t require surgery and Banks would return sooner than was previously feared.

The current card for Clash of Champions is:

WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens defending against Seth Rollins
Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte defending against Sasha Banks
Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day defending against The Club (Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows)
