Lana vs Nia Jax
Lana admits her fear of Nia to Asuka heading into the match, and it looks like Lana is heading out to the match on her own. Nia easily dominates Lana early in the match, but a few smart moves from Lana allow her to pin Nia getting the shock victory. After the pinfall, Shayna attacks Asuka backstage and Nia targets Lana’s knee, consistently attacking her. Eventually Asuka is able to make her way to the ring to make the save on Lana who has had her joints destroyed.
