The first match of the night is a tag team bout!
WWE Hall of Famers Trish Stratus & Lita make their way out first to huge pops!
Out next is Alexa Bliss to a pretty big pop as well and she introduces Mickie James & Alicia Fox.
Alexa was scheduled to compete in this match, but got replaced by Alicia because she’s injured and not cleared to compete.
After good back and forth action, Trish & Mickie come face-to-face in an epic staredown and the crowd is going wild!

There’s a botch during the match where Mickie is almost pinned for the 3 count as Alicia Fox is late in breaking it up, so referee had to pause.

Trish & Lita tear the house down as they defeat their opponents after Lita nailed a Moonsault on both of them and then Trish nailed a Chick Kick on Mickie to get the pin.
