SmackDown Team Captain Becky Lynch gained some early momentum by besting against Raw’s Team Captain Alicia Fox but was the first to be eliminated after Bayley tagged herself into the match and rolled up the Irish Lass Kicker from behind.

A back to back elimination would occur next when Naomi eliminated Raw Team Captain Alicia Fox but then found herself trapped in the Bank Statement from Sasha Banks, who forced Naomi to tap out.

Despite the numbers against her, Asuka was able to take on both Tamina and Natalya and eliminated each of them via submission, picking up a big win for Raw.
Later in the evening, Charlotte Flair was able to pick up a win for the blue brand by defeating the Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss.
Early in the match, Alexa kept her distance from the newly crowned SmackDown Women’s Champion and attacked whenever she saw an opening. This included knocking Charlotte off the ring apron with a baseball slide and then landing a dropkick while on the outside that sent Charlotte to the steel steps.
From there, Alexa would focus on Charlotte’s ribs with submissions and kicks but the SmackDown Women’s Champion used her size advantage to fight back with a powerbomb and chops to the chest.
After kicking out to the Natural Selection, Alexa nearly picked up the win with a right forearm and Snap DDT combo but Charlotte was able to get her foot on the bottom rope to break the pin.

In the end, Alexa climbed the rope for a Twisted Bliss but Charlotte was able to counter by getting her knees up and then taking down the Raw Women’s Champion with a Big Boot. A Figure Eight would serve as the finishing touches as Alexa Bliss would tap out and thus giving a win to SmackDown.
