The third-ever women's Money In The Bank match took place on Sunday night, and Alexa Bliss is now in possession of the briefcase.

The women of WWE have worked tirelessly to improve the way that female wrestlers are presented in the company, and with that has come a lot of matches that females had previously never competed in before. Hell In A Cell,  a Royal Rumble, and of course Money In The Bank ladder matches, the latest of which took place on Sunday night.

Last year marked the first-ever women's MITB ladder match and it was won by Carmella. That victory was marred in controversy as James Ellsworth was actually the one who unhooked the briefcase on behalf of The Princess Of Staten Island. That's why she had to go through it all again shortly after, and on that occasion, Carmella captured the contract herself.

At this year's MITB, Carmella was busy defending her SmackDown Women's Title against Asuka. That meant there would be a first time ever MITB match winner on the women's side of things. Any Superstar feasibly could have won the bout, but the honors went to Alexa Bliss. The Goddess dumped Becky Lynch off of the ladder at the last second and frantically climbed it in her place to unhook the briefcase.

Of the eight women in the match, it's hard to imagine that anyone would have made a better Miss MITB than Bliss. The role is made for heels, and Five Feet Of Fury is perhaps the best female heel in WWE today. Since losing the Raw Women's Title, Bliss has faded into the shadows a little. Now that she is in possession of the contract she will make sure that she is very much in the spotlight.

Now is the time to speculate exactly how long Bliss will hold the contract. Last year's winner, Carmella held it for longer than any other holder in history, eventually cashing it in successfully on Charlotte Flair. Will Bliss cash it in on Nia Jax, the woman who took the title from her in the first place? In fact, by the time you're reading this Ronda Rousey may be champion, or Bliss could have performed a same night cash-in. Hopefully, not that last one as Bliss with the briefcase is going to make for some entertaining television.
