WWE Monday Night Raw rolls on. We’ll be seeing a triple threat match between Asuka, Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler later on tonight, the three women from the Raw side in the Money In The Bank ladder match. But first, Andrade is interviewed backstage and he’s furious about the loss, he’s speaking Spanish but it’s pretty clear he’s saying something like “Apollo can’t beat me in a title match one-on-one”. Apollo overhears him and laughs at him for being a sore loser. They say they’ll fight him anytime. Apollo says “How about right now?” and gives him a HARD slap across the face. Zelina Vega is appalled and asks who he thinks he is, acting like a big shot after winning a single match. She says if he wants a US title match he can get one later tonight!
We get several more clips of Triple H’s past, including his ridiculous defeat of Sting and the infamous training exercise with Trish Stratus. Asuka makes her way out to the ring and yells in the microphone about it being two years since she tapped out Nia Jax. She laughs about this. Eventually Nia’s music hits and out she comes and Shayna too for the triple threat.
Asuka vs. Nia Jax vs. Shayna Baszler
The fight quickly spills to the outside, Shayna takes control until Asuka whips her right into the steps AND ladder! (They were pressed up against each other.) Asuka throws Shayna into the ring but Nia takes control and rolls Asuka in as well. Nia throws the ladder into the ring, no DQ because it’s a three way, Nia slams the ladder into both women! Hoists the ladder above her head, posing triumphantly as she looks out to the floor at Shayna and Asuka… and then she, tosses the ladder behind her and her music hits? Okay I guess this match never actually got started. I just assumed since it was booked as a triple threat it could start whenever and using the ladder was fine. But no, it looks like Nia’s just laid out both of her opponents before the match ever got underway. Well alright then, Jax standing tall.
Winner: Nevermind
Backstage, Bobby Lashley asks Lana to not go to the ring with him tonight. He says she’s kind of a distraction. Lana gets upset but Bobby explains that it’s because she’s just so beautiful, he can’t stop looking at her. This smooths it over with her with comical ease.
