Carmella’s ‘Royal Mellabration’ got interrupted by Paige, who informed the current Smackdown Women’s Champion she would face Asuka at Money In The Bank.
After an elaborate entrance, Carmella cut a promo on the London crowd, saying she was better than them, and they reminded her of the Smackdown locker room. She continued to say she was better than a number of people, including Ronda Rousey, Trish Stratus and Lita, before Paige made her way to the ring.
Paige brought the celebration to a close when she announced Carmella had a title defense at Money In The Bank, and introduced Asuka. The Empress made her way to the ring, but Carmella quickly left without incident, and held her title up on the ramp as they stared each other down.
