Loser: Asuka
Asuka inserted herself in the tag team match to main event the show, which signaled only one thing - she would be tapping out Carmella in the middle of the ring. Sure enough, she did. That almost certainly means she won't be winning the title on Sunday, whether through shenanigans or, less likely, a clean loss, which would truly be a disaster both for her and the division.
The match was poor and only signaled that we're probably going to have to suffer through another month of Carmella's awful title reign. That shouldn't be the case, because she got no reaction as usual and couldn't even perform a roll-up properly, but it is what it is. WWE's booking is so formulaic that there are little other predictions which can be made.
