After Nia Jax crashed through the pod glass, the remaining competitors ganged up on Tamina and eliminated her from the match. The teams of Mandy and Sonya, and Sasha and Bayley battled it out and the conclusion of the match saw Sasha lock Sonya in a modified “Banks Statement” and tap Sonya out to earn the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships with Bayley.
