Bayley added that they fight and stand against injustice, hence how and why she counted Banks’ pin on Asuka.
Bayley closed by saying when Banks forced Asuka to tap out, Asuka would be the empress of nothing.
Interesting enough, Kairi Sane came out with Asuka despite last week supposed to be her final Raw taping. Maybe they meant the one they actually tapped last week?

Asuka then hit with a kick to Banks’ head as we headed to commercial.
Asuka fights back
We came back to both women struggling to their feet. Banks continued to target Asuka’s injured leg and nearly had a couple of pinfalls.
Banks slapped on a standing ankle lock, but Asuka broke it with a kick to Banks’ back.
Banks continued talking smack, and Asuka took advantage to get a few shots in before she missed with a hip attack, and Banks slid under her to take out her leg.

Asuka was caught between choosing between her championship and helping Sane, and when Sane cried out for her, she ran to the back to help.
Banks won by count out.
We figured this would happen, but it’s a garbage finish.
Backstage post match
WWE Raw Results and Recap returned from commercial to kind it reported that Kairi Sane was in the trainer’s room receiving treatment when Bayley and Banks’ celebration popped in.
Asuka came out looking more than a little pissed.
We feel it’s safe to say Sasha Banks and Bayley better watch their backs. We may be seeing Asuka return to her NXT type of persona and this could make things interesting.
