With Raw's bottom team making it all the way to the finals, it wouldn't be too shocking to see R-Truth and Carmella shock the world tonight. Though, to do that, they'd have to run through a red-hot duo in The Miz and Asuka. Asuka ended SmackDown the victor of a three-woman brawl between herself, Charlotte Flair, and SmackDown Champion Becky Lynch.
In fact, the only real issue the team had was The Miz's complete overconfidence and need to be the center of attention. Would the huge egos of the A-Lister and The Empress be too much to handle, or would Team Awe-Ska go on to the finals of the MMC, possibly leading to the team winning both seasons of the show?

Results: Fabulous Truth defeated Awe-Ska
Awe-Ska suffered their second, and probably the final loss in MMC history tonight, this time with The Miz suffering the pinfall. The finals of the MMC will take place at WWE TLC this Sunday, December 16th.
