The WWE production team made a massive blunder on live television, but realized it quickly. They cut away and displayed the corrected augmented reality of the Women’s Tag Team Championship.

Naomi and The Legit Boss successfully defended the Women’s Tag Team Championship. During the last segment of this match, Banks and Naomi sent Liv Morgan out of the ring. Finally, The Boss and Trinity Fatu (Naomi) had the last laugh on Brutality and Morgan when they pinned ‘The Nightmare’.

‘The Nightmare’ Rhea Ripley did not enjoy her defeat and yelled at Morgan because she did not counter the pinfall. Ripley’s frustration was short-lived until she attacked Liv Morgan from behind.
