They run a video package for Charlotte, and it looks like we’re going to get a surprise match up next!
CHARLOTTE vs. SASHA BANKS
They do some nice athletic counter-grappling that ends with a gorgeous bridge pin by Charlotte. Sasha beats the champ down in the ropes and hangs her from the second, hitting a double knee stomp to the mid-section. The beatdown continues for a few minutes until they collide with clotheslines; both women down. Charlotte connects with a few knife-edge clotheslines. Banks mocks the “Woo!” chant but gets caught with a neckbreaker. She misses a moonsault but recovers with a standing senton (same spot from Takeover). Banks connects with a neckbreaker out of nowhere, but Charlotte kicks out and hits her with a facebuster. She follows up with Natural Selection for the 1-2-3.
Winner: CHARLOTTE
Santino is ready for his New Year’s party backstage, but nobody has shown up so he’s talking to his cobra. Eric Rowan shows up in a sheep mask and they have a moment.
