Of course, the WWE Official came out to the ring and made a special announcement for Naomi.
“We’re gonna get to the match, but first I have a few surprises. As your special guest ring announcer, let me introduce Natalya. And, as your special time keeper, let me introduce Shayna Baszler.”
Natalya came out without any props, but Shayna Baszler came out with a hammer.

Now, Naomi knew a timekeeper does not need a hammer!
Naomi weakened Sonya Deville by dismissing Shayna Baszler and Natalya
As soon as the bell went off, Naomi rolled out the ring and attacked Shayna Baszler first. The hammer dropped from Baszler’s hand and Naomi smashed her face on the ring before Baszler went down.
Next, she took down Natalya with a kick to the head before staring down Deville. Of course, Deville rolled out and commanded Natalya and Baszler inside the ring to take care of Naomi.
