The dirty tactics run in the blood.

Charlotte retained her Raw Women’s Championship, pinning Sasha Banks with a rollup Friday at WWE Live Manila at Mall of Asia Arena.

Banks reversed Charlotte’s Natural Selection to a Banks Statement but the defending champion got to the ropes.

Charlotte would then score a roll-up but gained leverage as she placed her feet on the ropes as the referee made the three-count.

Banks’ lower back was still heavily bandaged after recovering from the back injury she suffered at SummerSlam.

The two will have a rematch for the title at Clash of the Champions.
