The Empress of Tomorrow competes on SmackDown LIVE for the first time ever, joining forces with Becky Lynch to face the dastardly duo of Billie Kay & Peyton Royce.

Asuka arrived on SmackDown LIVE with a bang last week when she helped Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch fend off the dastardly trio of SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella and The IIconics. This week, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce didn’t seem overly concerned with their impending matchup against Lynch and The Empress of Tomorrow, as the two boldly claimed they are the future of WWE and are better than Lynch, Asuka and Charlotte Flair.

Having not taken kindly to The IIconic’s words, Becky & Asuka came out strong, but The IIconics fired back by isolating Lynch and using tandem offense to wear her down. It appeared that Asuka & Lynch were inching toward victory when The Empress of Tomorrow tagged into the contest and started pulverizing the competition. However, after Becky got back involved and accidentally knocked Asuka out of the ring, The IIconics ganged up on the Irish Lass Kicker. Positioned on the apron, Becky dispatched of Kay with a kick, but Peyton smashed the first-ever SmackDown Women’s Champion head-first into the ring post and rolled her up, slyly putting her feet on the ropes for leverage to get the win.
