The Tri-Brand Battle Royal went down on SmackDown where the participants were Asuka, Tamina Snuka, Tegan Nox, Shotzi Blackheart, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Shayna Baszler, Bianca Belair, Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, Naomi, Lacey Evans, Dana Brooke, Nikki Cross.
Asuka and Shayna Baszler were the final two in the ring as Bayley tried to interfere and eliminate Asuka from the ring. But she hit a drop-kick on both Banks and Bayley. Baszler hit her out of the ring but she landed on both of them. Asuka came back on the apron and sent Baszler to the floor to win the match. She will now challenge Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Title at SummerSlam.
