The WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament continued on Monday night, and in a stellar match, it was IYO SKY and Dakota Kai heading to the finals of the tournament.
In a bout between the two high-profile teams, the group that just saw their return to the WWE was the one that punched their ticket to the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament finals. Things ended after Asuka trapped Kai inside the Asuka Lock in the ring. While Kai tapped and Asuka began celebrating, it was all for nothing, as Asuka was not the legal competitor. This allowed IYO SKY to quickly slip into the ring and pull down Asuka for a roll up victory.
