Asuka & Naomi defeated Absolution
5/10
- Double running ass bumps from Asuka and Naomi.
- I'm glad to see Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose back on "the same page," but we need women's tag team titles.
- Naomi cracks Sonya with a nice kick, and tags out to Asuka.
- Asuka still gets great reactions, and beats Mandy's ass pretty well. Sonya is nowhere for Mandy to tag out ot.

- Naomi getting gear made to match Asuka. Interesting.

- There's a really terrible, written Rey Mysterio promo about how dangerous Randy Orton is.
- Orton dodges a 619, but eats a seated senton outside the ring.
