Before Asuka can say or do anything after posing in the ring, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville make their way to the stage.
Mandy says Carmella didn’t have to go through all of that, she could have asked her. Asuka is a shell of herself. Asuka did beat her and she is dangerous, but Mandy says she was a second away from beating Asuka. Mandy says she knows she can beat Asuka tonight.
Sonya says that Mandy did what she was supposed to do, she left just enough of Asuka for her. Tonight, it is her turn.
