Match

Evans and Naomi attack Tamina as soon as the bell rang. Tamina knocked both out of the ring as Smackdown took a commercial break. Back from commercial, Tamina was working over Naomi. Naomi hit a springboard detonation kick and Lacey took Tamina down with a clothesline. Lacey followed up by leaping over the top rope and hitting Tamina with an elbow.

Sasha Banks jumped up and tossed Lacey Evans into the ring steps, and Naomi gave Sasha a round house kick. Bayley jumped up on the apron, grabbed Naomi by the head, and pulled her neck down over the top rope. Tamina finished things off with a superkick.

Bayley and Tamina shook hands in the middle of the ring after the match. Tamina super kicked Bayley and hit Sasha Banks with a Samoan Drop to secure the advantage heading into WrestleMania.
