The two women initially exchanged rest holds and went to the mat as Royce locked on the head scissors on her opponent. Riot managed to power out of it, and drop Royce with a drop kick. Royce powered out of Riot's arm bar and hit a forearm to Riot's face. Royce then seized the advantage by having Riot's neck snap off the ropes. Peyton tossed Ruby to the outside where Billie Kay stood by, playing with her thick, luscious hair.

We came back from commercial to see Riot power out of a sleeper hold and drop Royce with clotheslines and a drop kick. Riot hit Royce's face with a kick in the corner but did not manage to get the three count. Riot went up to the top rope, and Royce climbed the turnbuckle to deliver a suplex to her.

While unsuccessful at first, a distraction from Kay allowed Royce to deliver a Death Valley Driver. Shockingly, Ruby Riot kicked out at two. She ducked a spin kick and delivered a power bomb. This time, Royce kicked out at two. Kay pulled out Royce and this allowed Riot to deliver a suicide dive to the two women.

Back in the ring, Royce caused a distraction with the apron, allowing Kay to deliver a big kick on the outside. Royce delivered a fisherman's suplex to pick up the big win.
