Seeing Lana’s defiance angered the champions even further. They emphatically challenged her and Asuka to a tag team match, which the latter accepted immediately.

Shayna and Nia were too strong for their opponents, but Lana showed some special fire against Nia Jax. She lit up Jax with slaps and strikes as Nia backed away into a corner. However, Jax quickly regained control.

The exchanges between Asuka and Shayna Baszler were especially exciting, considering they haven’t faced each other in WWE yet. Both women were long time NXT Champions and are two of the most feared wrestlers in the world. The match was won after Asuka rolled up Shayna for the three count.
