WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler will both work Handicap Matches against The Riott Squad tonight. We see them backstage with Adam Pearce tonight, arguing about the matches.

2-on-1 Handicap Match: The Riott Squad vs. Shayna Baszler w/ Nia Jax

We go to the ring for the first of two 2-on-1 Handicap Matches. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Shayna Baszler is out first with her partner, Nia Jax. The current #1 contenders are out next – Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan.

Riott starts off with Baszler. Baszler takes the leg down early on. They tangle some more as Jax watches from ringside. Riott blocks off a hold but Baszler takes her down, with her arm tied up. Liv ends up coming in and unloading on Baszler with kicks. Baszler blocks a takedown and slams Liv on her face.

Liv ends up knocking Baszler off the apron. Liv with a dropkick to the leg. More back and forth now. Liv kicks Baszler in the leg again but Baszler fights Liv off. Baszler with a big gutwrench Facebuster and a big kick to Liv. Jax apparently distracts Baszler with the taunting from ringside, and Liv takes advantage with a sunset flip for the pin.

2-on-1 Handicap Match: The Riott Squad vs. Nia Jax

We go back to the ring and WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax is starting off with Ruby Riott now while her partner Shayna Baszler is still having words from ringside. Riott turns it around on Jax. Liv Morgan tags in and nails a big dropkick to Jax’s knees.

Baszler taunts her partner as she gets double teamed in the corner. Liv and Riott with frequent tags to keep Jax in their corner. Riott with a big crossbody in the corner for a close 2 count. Jax gets up and levels Riott with a huge clothesline for a 2 count. Jax grounded Riott with an arm submission now. Riott gets an opening with a jawbreaker, then a shoulder sends her down. Jax taunts Baszler some and goes to stomp on Riott like Baszler would, but this backfires on her and Riott goes for a tag. The lights start flickering in the arena. Could this be RETRIBUTION? The virtual fans are no longer visible.

Liv comes in off the lights flickering and she ends up taking down Jax. The Riott Squad looks to put Jax away for the win but the lights go out again. We see a RETRIBUTION graphic that appears to be in white spray paint.
