We go to the ring with ring announcer Christy Hemme.
First Match. United States Women's First Round Elimination Match 1#. Alexa Bliss comes back to beat MsChif with a DDT to advance to the semifinals round (14:11). The taller Mschif grounded Bliss who spent much time stalling outside of the ring when she got in trouble during the first 10 minutes. Alexa low blows Mschif. While referee Brian Hebner was checking on Mschif, Bliss losen the top turnbuckle cover. Bliss then slammed Mschif head first into it to set up the victory. Mschif was helped back to the dressing room.
Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews a still agitated Kana over what Sasha Banks did last week. Kana promises the UWA World's Women's Champion has a beating coming February 19.
