WWE Mixed Match Challenge – Quarterfinals
Finn Balor & Sasha Banks vs The Miz & Asuka
Miz takes the mic and says he has a bone to pick with Balor, then we see a quick near fall attempt before raining down with punches on Finn. Miz kicks him in the head and taunts the crowd, then Asuka tries coaching him from the apron and Sasha calls Miz a loser. Miz answers by taunting her with her own ‘Boss’ taunt, then Balor ducks a roundhouse kick and Miz backs away.
Asuka ends up tagging herself in and says she’s taking control, and she hits a shoulder block and taunts Sasha. Asuka runs into a kick by Sasha, who taunts her right back, but Asuka makes her pay and slaps her repeatedly and hits a running splash. Asuka unloads with kicks to the chest, then Sasha comes back with a few strikes, but Asuka catches her with a knee to the face.
Miz gets the tag but Balor catches him with a kick on the way in, then Asuka runs in and gets tossed outside. Sasha dives on her and connects with double knees on the floor, then Finn kicks Miz from the apron and nearly pins him after a rollup. Miz surprises him with Skull Crushing Finale but Sasha breaks the pin up, and Miz argues with the referee, saying Sasha can’t touch him. The ref ensures Miz it was a two count, not three, then Finn runs in and hits Sling Blade, and follows with a dropkick. Finn heads up top and hits the Coupe de Grace, but Asuka breaks the pin up before Banks drops her with a Backstabber. Sasha rolls into the Banks Statement and Finn tries to make Miz tap, but Asuka rolls through and chokes out Sasha, and Finn gets distracted by that and Miz rolls him up for the win.
Winners – The Miz & Asuka
