Wendy Choo and Cora Jade kicked off the match and Choo was napping, letting Jade sneak in a tag. Raquel Gonzalez came in and missed an elbow drop before tagging Jade back in. Dakota Kai came in and isolated Jade in the ring while we saw Mandy Rose was alone in the viewing box.
They may be an odd pairing, but @therealestwendy & @DakotaKai_WWE are taking it to @RaquelWWE & @CoraJadeWWE.
