There was a bit of silliness in the first few minutes, then it got serious as Miz fought Big E. Everyone kind of seemed to be waiting for Asuka to take on Carmella, and that&#8217;s ho the match finished. There wasn&#8217;t a whole lot to the match, but I liked it alright.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nBraun Strowman is looking forward to destroying Sami Zayn, and Alexa Bliss is going to give Becky Lynch a &#8220;lass kicking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nSami and Becky each have a plan for next week, though they&#8217;re unsure of who&#8217;s plan to follow.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nRenee Young congratulates Asuka and The Miz.
