Match

Ruby offered a handshake to Asuka, but Asuka went right after Riot. After Riot started to mouth off, Asuka grabbed Ruby’s Arm and started wrenching it to the mat. Asuka kicked Ruby in the face and continued her focus on Ruby Riot’s arm. Ruby Riot fell to the outside when Asuka hit her with a hip attack. With Ruby standing on the floor, Asuka hit a running knee strike. Asuka was dancing on the barricade when Raw went to commercial.

Back from the break, Asuka maintained control over Ruby. After Asuka missed a hip attack, Ruby kicked her out of the ring. When Ruby went for a kick, Asuka caught her and cinched in an ankle lock submission. Asuka then hit a shining wizard for a near fall.

Riot backed Asuka into the corner and then hit her with a pair of high kicks to the head. Ruby followed those strikes with a basement clothesline. When Ruby went for a coffin drop, Asuka moved and then locked in Asuka Lock. Riot rolled through to evade the submission. After Riot managed to use a couple of pinfall attempts, Asuka cinched in her Asuka Lock submission for good and earned the victory.
