Grade: 3.75/5.0 Stars
Analysis: Charlotte Flair and Natalya stole the show with this match. Absolutely spectacular. This match should not have been interrupted by 24/7 Championship run-ins, but that’s WWE. There is then a short backstage interview with Becky Lynch. She said: “When you’re the golden goose, you also get the golden handcuffs.” Lynch is looking forward to wiping her record with Asuka even if it kills her. Bobby Lashley is then seen backstage getting ready for his marriage with Lana later tonight. Promo package of Liv Morgan is then shown, where she states that she has to feel different, not just look different. She claims that someone made her feel different, and the old her would have been impulsive but the new her is more methodical and will strike when ready.
