As the women get back into the ring, the IIconics manage to double team Asuka when the referee is distracted as he tried to get Naomi back to the corner. Royce makes the tag and another double team advantage allows for Royce to land a spinning kick on Asuka. Kay follows up with a grounded arm submission and tosses Asuka to the corner but Asuka fights though. She tries to make a tag to Naomi but Kay keeps her at bay. Asuka delivers a German suplex to create separation, which sets up for a hot tag scenario. Naomi takes Royce down with a forearm, back elbow, springboard kick and bulldog to the second rope. She tops things off with a split-legged moonsault on Royce but Kay runs in to make the save.
Really cool moment for @PeytonRoyceWWE and @BillieKayWWE ??

Asuka delivers a missile dropkick from the top rope that takes Kay down. Naomi tosses Royce back into the ring and looks for an attack from the ring apron but Kay pulls her off. Asuka runs in to make the save but gets sent to the barricade instead. The IIconics take advantage and set Naomi up for a running knee strike that earns them the win.
