Winner: Nikki Cross

Nikki Cross' push continues, as she defeated Mandy Rose while Bayley and Sasha Banks were on commentary putting her down. She has no chance of actually winning the title from Bayley, but if those two are involved with her, it means she has a future as a solo act and not just as Alexa Bliss' crazy sidekick.


Loser: Cain Velasquez

Cain Velasquez looks completely lost every time he's out there, as Rey Mysterio speaks for him. Is any WWE fan actually excited about this match between the two at Crown Jewel? The segment with Brock Lesnar beating up Dominic, who was explained to be Velasquez's godson was fine for building heat, but the latter just looks like a cardboard cutout out there, preventing investment in him as a character.

Hopefully this angle won't go on beyond Crown Jewel, although that's unfortunately unlikely. Either way, putting the WWE Championship on Cain Velasquez would be a big mistake.
