Nox picked up Kai but was spiked on the fallen barricade with a DDT. Kai quickly rolled her in for a pinfall, getting a two-count. She moved to the outside, sliding in a few trash can lids, trash cans, and steel chairs. Attempting to crack Nox's skull between the ring post and a 2x4, Kai's swing missed, and Nox followed up with a crossbody off the stairs.

A table was set up outside, but Kai escaped a suplex attempt. Kai avoided a clothesline and set Nox up on the apron, banging a trash can lid off her head. Nox was set up by the table, and Kai went for the face wash. Nox avoided, hanging her up in the ropes for three superkicks.

As Nox was dumped to the floor, Kai wrapped her hands around the bottom turnbuckle with duct tape. With that, Kai hit her with back-to-back running boots, breaking the tape in the process. As she went for the laptop, Nox countered and bounced it off of Kai's knee, sending her scurrying into the ring.

Nox grabbed a heavy steel chain and slung it into Kai's knee. Nox tore at the brace, leaving Kai squirming on the mat. With a steel chair wrapped around it, Nox stomped on the surgically repaired knee. A Shiniest Wizard connected, but Nox said she wasn't done yet.
