WWE Smackdown Women’s Champion Carmella vs. Asuka.

Carmella was all confident early on and was great at playing her role. She went for a kick but Asuka caught it. Asuka spun her around but was slapped by the Champion, who said she wasn’t scared of her. Asuka didn’t like that and caught her with a series of kicks in the ropes, then knocked her off the apron to the floor with a running hip attack.

Carmella demanded her title belt and said she was the Champion and would do what she wanted. She acted as if he was going to walk out but was caught with a knee strike off the apron by Asuka. They battled outside on the apron near the ring post. Carmella pulled Asuka into it, stunning her, then tossed her into the ring. That was enough to score a two count.

Carmella locked in a cool submission hold, trapping Asuka’s arm. Carmella was really vocal mocking Asuka and was great at it. Asuka fought her way to her feet, reversed and went for the Asuka Lock. Carmella ducked a spinning backfist and kicked Asuka in the gut, then locked in a front facelock.

Asuka went to the ropes but Carmella kicked the ropes to stun her, then avoided a missile dropkick. Carmella’s leg was still snatched into a leg submission and the Smackdown Women’s Champion grabbed the ropes to break it. Asuka continued to build momentum and got angrier with every strike she was hit with. She finally exploded with a dropkick and a German suplex. Asuka nailed a hip attack for a two count.

Asuka charged the Champion, who dropped down and pulled the ropes open, causing Asuka to crash down to the floor. Asuka returned to the apron but was attacked and kicked back down to the floor off the apron. Carmella hit a dive to the floor and covered Asuka a two count. Asuka made a comeback when someone dressed like her came from under the ring.

Everything stopped as Asuka stared at this person. Carmella rolled her up for a two count. Asuka kicked up and nailed her with a kick. She turned her attention to the masked person, who revealed himself to be…JAMES ELLSWORTH.

Carmella kicked Asuka in the back of the head and scored the pin.

Your winner and still WWE Smackdown Women’s Champion Carmella!
