Asuka vs. Bayley [SmackDown Women’s Championship]
Result: Bayley (via pinfall)
Rating: 4.0/5.0 Stars
Grade: B+, Ding Dong! Bayley defeated Asuka for the first time. You gotta love it. Great match and excellently executed nefarious finish.
Bayley and Asuka went back and forth at the start of the match. Bayley delivered the Bayley to Belly to Asuka, but Asuka kicked out at two. Asuka rallied back with an Enziguiri, shoulder blocks, and hip tosses. Asuka delivered a German Suplex and Hip Attack for the nearfall.
Asuka delivered the Code Breaker to Bayley for the nearfall. Bayley rallied back with a debilitating leg lock. Asuka countered the leg lock, but Bayley continued her offense with a sunset powerbomb into the corner turnbuckle.
Bayley jumped off the top turnbuckle for the Flying Elbow, but Asuka countered it into the Asuka Lock. Banks distracted Asuka long enough for Asuka to release the hold. Bayley rolled Asuka up for the Small Package for the pinfall and the victory.
Street Profits (c) vs. Andrade and Angel Garza [Raw Tag Team Championships]
Result: Street Profits (via pinfall)
Rating: 4.0/5.0 Stars
Grade: B+, Good WrestleMania rematch. While many would have expected Bianca Belair or Kevin Owens to help Street Profits win, Zelina Vega was actually the reason Street Profits won. The dissension between Andrade and Garza is inevitable.
Andrade and Angel Garza gained early control in the match by focusing all their attacks on Montez Ford, who was poisoned by Zelina Vega three weeks ago. After delivering the Double Stomp to Ford, Ford escapes Andrade and Garza’s attacks to execute the hot tag to Angelo Dawkins.
Dawkins rallied with clotheslines and a spear to Andrade. He executed another hot tag to Ford as Andrade tagged Garza. Ford delivered a picture perfect Flying Crossbody to Andrade. Garza delivered a Super Kick to Ford, who got tagged by Dawkins.
Garza was about to deliver a ChickenWing Facebuster to Ford, but Dawkins delivered a Spinebuster to Garza. While Andrade was catering to Zelina Vega outside the ring, Ford delivered a Frog Splash to Garza for the pinfall and the victory.
