Shayna Baszler vs Shotzi Blackheart

Shayna Baszler took Shotzi Blackheart lightly early on, but after getting tripped up with a heel hook, got serious. An ankle lock transitioned into a wrist lock, hoping to snap the new star's arm. Blackheart dumped Baszler over the top, just like the week before.

Baszler rolled back in and took Blackheart to the floor, dropping her face first on the apron with a flapjack. But as Baszler looked for the Kirifuda Clutch, Blackheart reversed with a DDT. Baszler was momentarily stunned, allowing Blackheart to deliver a series of kicks to the back of the head.

On the apron, the Sliced Bread No. 2 drove the Queen of Spades into the hardest part of the ring. Sadly, it wasn't enough to put her away. A dive from the top saw Baszler counter with the Kirifuda Clutch. Blackheart fought valiantly, but would be forced to tap.

Results: Shayna Baszler defeated Shotzi Blackheart via submission.

Baszler may have pulled out a win, but Blackheart definitely had the former champion on the ropes several times. 2020 may be her year.
