Charlotte music hit and she came out, but before she could reach the ring, Rusev and Lana came out from behind.
Rusev took the mic and said no one cared about the women's revolution to which both Charllote and Sasha got really upset. They both teamed together and took the Bulgarian Brute and Lana down. As Rusev tried to get back at them, Roman Reigns came out.
