Charlotte vs Natalya
In a rematch from two weeks ago, we saw another hugely competitive match between Charlotte and Natalya ahead of Flair's SmackDown Championship showdown with Asuka on Sunday.
The match began with both women locking up, Charlotte put Natalya in a side headlock before Natalya struck back with a head scissors, but Charlotte escaped with a kip-up into a strut.
Natalya then got her own back as the next exchange ended in her bringing out a pose of her own. Charlotte got a near fall before Natalya hit a suplex and side head lock take down. Charlotte then got another near fall and Natalya posed for the crowd again.
Both ladies then exchanged some locks and holds, and the Women's Champion ended up getting another two near falls in quick succession. Charlotte then sent Natalya into the turnbuckle and hit her with some stiff kicks before getting another two-count.
Both ladies grappled on the mat before Natalya ended up on the outside. Charlotte missed her with a baseball slide but didn't miss a beat when she hit back with some kick and chops. Natalya then sent Charlotte into the ring post and took over, getting a near fall of her own.
In possibly the most impressive spot of the whole night, Natalya locked in a surfboard on Charlotte, but Charlotte somehow stood up while in mid-air, on Natalya's feet and escaped the hold. Natalya got back into the match again, but Charlotte dropped her on her tailbone in a precarious position and went for the Moonsault - only for Natalya to get her knees up.
Natalya went for the lariat, Charlotte went for a clothesline and both ladies ended up knocked out.
F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!
Carmella sprinted to the ring and tried to cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase, but the referees delayed and Charlotte impressively booted the briefcase out of her hand. Natalya went for the roll-up like two weeks ago, but Charlotte escaped and made Natalya tap to the Figure-8 Leg Lock.
Asuka's music hit and the undefeated challenger came to the ring and danced past Charlotte.
Asuka then cut a promo telling Charlotte, at WrestleMania, the Queen will bow down to the Empress because no-one is ready. But before she could finish, Charlotte snatched the microphone and said she is ready, but questioned whether Asuka was. Both women stared at the sign, then each other to close out the segment.
We then cut to a backstage interview with AJ Styles saying he wears his emotions on his sleeve, but Nakamura is trying to toy with his emotions.
AJ said his emotions aren't his weakness, they're his strength. The WWE Champion said we're far from the Tokyo Dome and Nakamura's weakness is taking him too lightly.
He says they may be in a dream match, but this isn't a dream, it's reality, and the reality is he'll defeat Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania.
After the commercial break, WWE shows a nice shot walking from inside Tootsie's in Nashville outside onto the street of Broadway across from the arena before running a package on Daniel Bryan's return and the build to the match between Bryan, Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn.
