Gained momentum: Asuka
This is only relatively speaking, as Asuka came out with the best night compared to her peers. After her scheduled match with Alicia Fox was interrupted by Absolution, Paige tried to dominate the space, which the Empress of Tomorrow refused to yield.
More than any other woman before her, Asuka fought Absolution off, downing Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville and threatening to break Paige's arm in her flying armbar. The numbers game would eventually catch up to her, but reinforcements from the women's division arrived in the nick of time.
It's too soon for Asuka and Absolution to begin a proper rivalry (it still seems to be the endgame), so WWE got out of the booking mess as best they could. Honestly, nothing should have happened between the two at all this week.
Asuka was also very over with the dead crowd, which was cool to see.
