Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross opened up the segment by talking about the fifth anniversary of the Women’s Evolution and the change it had brought on SmackDown and WWE as a whole.

While Cross believed she was the special guest, Bliss told her she wasn’t the special guest and was interrupted by Bayley and Sasha Banks before she could reveal who it was.

After Bayley and Banks trash-talked for a little while, Asuka was revealed as Bliss’ real guest and she soon turned the mic war into an in-ring battle. Asuka teamed up with Cross to take on Bayley and Banks as all four women tried to shine just in time for Extreme Rules and gain some momentum.

Asuka and Cross proved to be an interesting pair and worked well together, but they were no match for the heels’ chemistry.

While the babyfaces tried their best to score a victory, Bayley rolled Cross up for the pin and once again got her feet on the ropes for leverage to pick up the victory.

So disappointed. So angry. I can be better. I have to be better. I will be https://t.co/5sxGgXoPau

This was another good match for The Role Models on SmackDown who continue to impress with their work on the mic and in the ring. However, we did see some differences between the two women, and we could get a major rivalry between them soon after Extreme Rules.
