Another tip top match with a topsy turvy ending, Sasha Banks and Asuka's work was yet again undone by a finish designed to one thing whilst pathetically trying to do another.

After both were b*llocked by Women's Wrestling overlord and final boss Stephanie McMahon (as if Asuka in particular had had anything to do with the shenanigans 24 hours earlier) just to remind everybody to be afraid of looming authority figures at all times, they had another total banger brutalised by a p*ss-poor finish.

McMahon had determined that the disputed title would be decided on the show, but behind the scenes her Father was in no mood to offer a clean finish or conclusion to the mess he'd made. This was marginally cuter than the aptly-named Horror Show - a soon-to-depart Kairi Sane was battered by Bayley backstage, forcing Asuka to abandon the match to make the save.

"Doesn't that make the babyface a bit stupid and quasi-babyface Banks a paper champion?" you, the casual viewer, ask. "Yes", your writer replies, but you've already switched over like the other millions finding other things to watch.
