– The show opened with Kevin Owens interviewing Asuka on The KO Show, formerly known as the Kevin Owens Show. They were interrupted by Charlotte Flair, who the Raw Women’s Championship should’ve been handed to her because Asuka’s never beaten her. They were interrupted by Natalya, and then Nia Jax. Asuka fought Jax, and Flair fought Natalya.
