Just as chaos is about to ensue, Stephanie McMahon makes her way to the ring. After spewing some corporate hogwash, she announces the first ever Women's Royal Rumble. 

She actually managed to drain all the excitement out of what should've been a monumental moment! Can she just stop being a character on television?
...
The Absolution are wreaking havoc when Nia Jax makes her way to the ring. She hits a double Samoan drop on Deville and Rose. However, Paige levels Jax, leaving her in a heap. This causes the entire Raw women's locker room to come out and handle Absolution.

Before the confusion can clear, Sheamus hits Rollins with a Brogue Kick out of nowhere, allowing Cesaro to cover the Architect. The referee is initially tending to Ambrose, but he rushes in to count the pinfall. The contrived nature of this finish makes you think that Ambrose is really injured.

Just as Rollins inches closer to his team, Cesaro cuts him off and throws him outside the ring, allowing Samoa Joe and Sheamus to take a toll on him. Ambrose lays out the heels, throws Rollins inside the ring and asks for the tag. 

However, the Lunatic is knocked off the apron by Cesaro. Rollins hits a suicide dive and accidentally hits Ambrose, injuring the Cincinnati native's right elbow. The doctor has to be called to check on this. Is this scripted?

Asuka vs. Alicia Fox
Fox is on the back foot right off the bat. She has a kick blocked and is taken down right away. Asuka looks to work on the arm, but Fox manages to leave the ring and land a cheap shot. Fox lands the best northern lights suplex in the business and grabs a chin lock. Cole says that Asuka's unbeaten run is more impressive than that of Foreman. Well, she's scripted to win. That helps a little bit.  
...
Gulak is in control of Alexander, assaulting him with a number of strikes. Alexander comes back with a backdrop and gets a near fall with a huge lariat. After a back and forth affair, Alexader wins with a lumbar check.

Finn Balor and Hideo Itami vs. The Miztourage
We have an impromptu tag-team match on hands. Dallas and Axel double team Balor, isolating him with ground and pound. He makes the hot tag to Itami, who runs through Axel and Dallas.

He hits the GTS on Axel for the win! That is blasphemy! No man other than CM Punk should be allowed to use that move on WWE television!

Dallas attempts to start proceedings, but he makes the tag almost immediately. Dallas and Axel isolate Balor in their corner and go after him with a flurry of strikes.

...
Now, onto someone who's actually over. Finn Balor's out next. See what I did there?

Time for another Bray Wyatt vignette. He says that his great war with Matt Hardy must end. Sigh. Poor Matt Hardy.

...
Rollins follows a slingblade with a springboard clothesline, but he can't keep Jordan down for 3. The Architect makes eye contact with Joe which gives Jordan an opening to hit a belly-to-belly suplex. A German suplex attempt is reversed, allowing Rollins to fling his foe outside the ring and hit the suicide dive, a staple of modern day TV wrestling.
