*Raquel, Cora, Io, Zoey in the locker room…they can barely get along…and they need a 4^th member since Zoey is hurt.

*Tony D’Angelo backstage with McKenzie…he’s taking bets on the North American title match…because…he’s Italian…he continues to put down Pete Dunne.

(4)  Cora Jade defeats Mandy Rose…Kay Lee Ray makes her way to ringside with her baseball bat & smashes the timekeeper’s laptop…then tosses the bat into the ring to the ref…confused, he tosses it back to the floor as Cora Jade rolls up the distracted Mandy for the win (04:02).
