Natalya def. Carmella
With the ring now cleared of the Shane McMahon/Kevin Owens chaos, Natalya and Carmella’s match could finally take place. Carmella, looking to gain the mental edge over the SmackDown Women’s Champion with her Money in the Bank contract still looming large, of course had James Ellsworth in her corner.
The two Superstars went toe-to-toe in this non-title contest, but when Carmella gained enough momentum for Ellsworth to believe she had the win in hand during a two-count, he hopped onto the apron with the contract and accidently dropped the briefcase in the ring. The official seemed to believe Carmella was perhaps attempting to cash in, a matter that The Princess of Staten Island had to clear up in a hurry. The distraction cost Carmella to lose concentration and then lose the match when Natalya rolled her up for three while she was busy yelling at Ellsworth.
After the contest, Ellsworth begged Carmella for forgiveness, but The Princess of Staten Island would have none of it. Carmella verbally degraded him, then told James that they are through, bringing their unusual relationship to a bitter end.
