The WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion grounded Asuka, who nearly stole the win with a backslide.

Asuka rallied and dropped Bayley with a German suplex.  A running stomp in the corner earned Asuka a two count. Bayley damaged Asuka’s leg by trapping her in an ankle lock. Bayley targeted the leg, and Banks took a cheap shot, which allowed her fellow Golden Role Model to keep the upper hand. Asuka got a two count with a roll-up out of nowhere, and she locked in a devastating armbar. Bayley countered a Codebreaker into an Indian Deathlock. Asuka rocked Bayley with a knee to the head, but Bayley nearly won the match with a diving elbow drop. Bayley mocked Asuka, and her cockiness cost her the match, as Asuka immediately trapped her in the Asuka Lock and made her tap out.
