Alexa Bliss & Mickie James vs Becky Lynch & Natalya

It looked like every woman for herself at the end of the night

The two had a lot of back and forth action, and it took a distraction from James once Becky Lynch got the momentum. Becky was in for much longer after constant attacks from Alexa and Mickie. Becky managed to get some offence in on Alexa, who quickly tagged in Mickie.

While Natalya was waiting for a tag, Becky started attacking Mickie on her own. Natalya then suplexed Becky Lynch, and as Mickie was going for the pin, Alexa tagged herself in and got the pin.
