Good luck, James
Good luck, James

Carmella wasn't happy with Ellsworth backstage prior to the match, with James wearing an amusing 'nobody is ready' shirt. The champion got her own entrance despite not being involved in the match, followed by Ellsworth and then The Empress of Tomorrow. The female superstars of SmackDown Live were surrounding the ring.

Ellsworth and 'Mella cut a scathing promo in the middle of the ring, stating that he wanted the women around the ring to show some kind of restraint. Asuka received a relatively quiet reaction by her standards.

Asuka kept attempting to kick James only for him to roll out of the ring and immediately get tossed back in by the girls, only for the lumberjills to descend into chaos. Becky Lynch prevented Ellsworth from escaping up the ramp alongside Naomi.

Asuka dived from the top rope to the canvas below, landing on every single female superstar aside from Carmella. Asuka kicked Ellsworth into Carmella who fell off the ring apron, before submitting James with ease.

Asuka defeated James Ellsworth

Carmella and Ellsworth sprayed a substance in Asuka's eyes to get the upper hand before the segment ends.

New Day & Team Hell No cut an amusing and passionate promo backstage prior to the 10-man main event which was made by Paige.
