Flair left the Upstate Medical Arena with the strap, although she was left with a big cut on her face for her troubles.
The gash was caused by a perfectly-placed kick from title challenger Aliyah.
Despite being left bloodied, Flair - the daughter of WWE legend Ric - rallied to retain her title.
Flair is fast becoming one of the biggest stars in the WWE, so much so former Superstar Bully Ray believes she's finally out of her old man's shadow.
