We go to the ring for an episode of The VIP Lounge with MVP as we see the Money In the Bank briefcases hanging high above the ring. MVP admits things went sideways last week with his special episode on the men’s Money In the Bank match. He says things didn’t go as planned but they’ve moved on from that and this week will return to style, class and sophistication with the competitors from the women’s MITB match. MVP actually isn’t sure how this will turn out because of what happened the last time these three were in the ring together. He shows us what happened with Nia Jax, Asuka and Shayna Baszler last week. MVP introduces his first guest and out comes Asuka.
Asuka hits the ring and MVP says a few words in Japanese. He translates for her and says she’s in a good mood. Asuka takes a seat on one of the couches. MVP introduces Baszler and out she comes next, followed by Nia Jax. Nia shoves over MVP’s red rope at ringside entrance as Asuka and Baszler stare her down from their seats in the ring. We see Asuka nodding her head to Nia’s music. Nia chooses to sit on the small table in between the two couches instead with the others. MVP asks her if she thinks she has the skillset to win MITB. Jax asks MVP if he even watches RAW, and has seen her dominate. Jax says she’s relentless and that’s the only skill she needs. MVP asks Asuka if she wants to respond but Asuka goes off in Japanese, mentioning Kairi Sane. MVP asks Baszler how her specific set of skills will help her win.
Baszler says “opera non verba” and goes on about how she does her talking in the ring. Asuka goes into another rant. She and Baszler stand up, staring each other down. Nia goes to stand up but Baszler and Asuka both turn to kick her down, sending her out to the floor. Asuka and Baszler have words but MVP gets in between them, telling them to save it for Sunday. Nia recovers at ringside as Asuka’s music hits. We go to repays. Asuka taunts Baszler while MVP stays in between them.
