It’s time to set up a semifinals match as this tournament is starting to hit the home stretch. This week will see Raw vs. Smackdown as Braun Strowman/Alexa Bliss take on the real life husband and wife of Jimmy Uso/Naomi. The winners get Miz/Asuka in what might be the real tournament finals. Let’s get to it.
Here’s last week’s show if you need a recap.
Bobby Roode, Charlotte, Rusev and Lana are all doing comments on the show.
Strowman says Glowish ends tonight.
Naomi promises to snatch Alexa bald and Jimmy isn’t afraid of Braun. Well at least Naomi says he isn’t.
Quarterfinals: Alexa Bliss/Braun Strowman vs. Naomi/Jimmy Uso
Naomi takes her down but Jimmy distracts Braun to break up an early tag attempt. Instead it’s off to an armbar to keep Bliss down but she kicks Naomi away. Jimmy dives over to knock Strowman off the apron and a few superkicks stagger the monster. Twisted Bliss is countered with an enziguri but Braun catches her. He seems to like the idea but sits Bliss on the apron instead. This time Bliss gets knocked onto Strowman and she seems a bit intrigued as well.
Jimmy makes fun of Strowman for being knocked down so Strowman chases him down with way too much ease. Back in and Naomi kicks Bliss in the face but Jimmy doesn’t seem interested in making the tag. Naomi hits her dancing kicks and drops a leg for two. Strowman has finally had enough and runs Jimmy over before powerslamming him through the table. Bliss takes advantage of the distraction and rolls Naomi up for the pin at 10:34.
Result: Alexa Bliss/Braun Strowman b. Naomi/Jimmy Uso – Rollup to Naomi (10:34)
These two are too adorable.
Roode says next week will be WOO Day.Lana and Rusev are sick of the WOOing so Rusev sings the Lana Song.
