Last week, Nia Jax returned to the Red brand, ending a year-long absence dating back to last year’s WrestleMania.
Nia Jax faced Kairi Sane for the Women's MITB qualifying matchup this week.

It was apparent that Jax would easily dominate one-half of The Kabuki Warriors. That is exactly what happened, and unfortunately, Kairi didn't have the same luck as her teammate, Asuka, on this week's show.
Asuka faced Ruby Riott at the beginning of the episode. Both women put on the most competitive bout out of all three Women's MITB qualifying matches last night.
Asuka's career has been on an upswing since the year began. Her wonky onscreen antics have earned a special place on a show with no live audience. Asuka's flashy presence inside and outside the ring makes up for the silence that could be felt throughout several parts of the show.
The Empress of Tomorrow may have defeated Ruby Riott, but this was an especially good performance from the former leader of The Riott Squad.
