Roode and Natalya were interviewed backstage, with Natalya trying to cheer up her partner. Roode apologized to Natalya for losing, but before he could finish, was interrupted by Asuka, saying that she and The Miz would win tonight.


Awe-Ska vs Ravishing Rusev Day

Asuka & The Miz came into tonight's match undefeated in the Mae Young Classic. With Rusev and Lana sitting at 0-1, and with the Bulgarian Brute losing to The Awesome One earlier on SmackDown Live, the couple had an uphill battle in their match.

Asuka and Lana began the bout but quickly began a twerk off. Asuka then congratulated Lana before kicking her in the face. Lana fought back, planting Asuka with a facebuster. The Miz attempted to get in the ring, but Rusev stopped him, telling him to "Get back in the ring like the nice little boy you are."

A "Lana is the best, Lana #1" chant began before all four competitors tried to find out who the crowd was behind.

Rusev & Lana shared a kiss, then teased Asuka and Miz. Awe-Ska denied the kiss, then got taken out by Ravishing Rusev Day.

After diving on top of Miz and Asuka, Lana put the former NXT Women's Champion back in the ring, earning a near fall. Asuka quickly got the momentum back, locking Lana in an arm wrench. Lana attempted to tag her husband, but Asuka picked her up and dropped her with a knee. A missed dropkick allowed Lana to tag in Rusev, however.

Rusev dominated The Miz, bulldozing the Awesome One with multiple clotheslines, followed by the spinning heel kick.

The Machka Kick was narrowly avoided by The Miz, but when Miz went for the Skull Crushing Finale, Rusev kicked him in the side of the head.

The Miz tagged out, leading Lana to almost pick up a win with a kick to Asuka's head. The Miz took a mic, then copied Aiden English's throat clear. Rusev saw through the ruse, taking out Miz.

Lana locked the Accolade in on The Miz and avoided a kick from Asuka. Lana planted Asuka with another facebuster, but The Miz broke up the pin.

As Lana and The Miz bickered, Rusev dragged the Awesome One out of the ring. Sadly, Lana was too distracted and was forced to tap out to the Asuka Lock.

Results

Awe-Ska joins Fenomenal Flair as the only 2-0 teams on the SmackDown side. Next week, The Miz & Asuka will face off against Day One Glow.
