Jax and Rose kicked off the match and Charlotte tried for an early distraction that allowed them to get the upper hand. Asuka tagged in and was in control of the match when Alexa Bliss showed up at ringside and said that she was there to 'keep an eye on someone', thanks to Lilly.
Back after a commercial break, the tag champs were in control again and got a near fall on Rose while Alexa and Lilly looked on. Brooke came in and got a near fall on Shayna. Shayna struggled to reach her partner and Asuka came in and pinned her off a shining wizard.
