Analysis: This match was short and to the point, which has been the defining characteristic of Cargill’s singles run so far. She looked dominant and performed well against Asuka, but it was a fairly pedestrian effort overall in what should have been a signature moment for Cargill. Cargill will get a shot at the WWE Women’s Champion at SummerSlam, but it’s almost certain that even if she wins her initial match, Naomi will cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase and walk out of New Jersey as champion.

Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu seemed like they were set to end their feud at Night of Champions with all the pieces in place. And then, more chaos ensued. Fatu controlled the majority of the action in the powerhouse match, dictating the pace and tossing Sikoa around the ring. As Fatu was getting ready to hit Sikoa with a dive off the top rope, Tonga Loa ran in and made the save, knocking Fatu down and hitting a DDT off the top rope. It was Loa's first appearance since suffering an injury at WarGames in November. But even after the attack, Fatu managed to stay alive and put pressure on Sikoa. Fatu then hit his springboard moonsault, but the referee was distracted and a debuting Hikuleo dragged Fatu out of the ring. Hikuleo then chokeslammed Fatu through the announce desk before tossing him back in the ring for Sikoa to get the win. There was a lot going on here and it led to an interesting finish storyline-wise. Sikoa now has a full stable behind him and Fatu is left out to pasture. There could be a setup for Fatu to join forces with a returning Roman Reigns in the near future for another Bloodline family battle, but putting a title back on Sikoa is an interesting choice at least.
