Match: Naomi vs. Alexa Bliss

Naomi made a dancing and glowing entrance as Alexa Bliss was patiently waiting for her in the ring. She got a cheering response from the crowd.

Naomi and Alexa Bliss started off the action by locking up and getting into a shoving match with each other. Alexa Bliss utilised the referee to make an attempt at distracting Naomi. The referee was being used as a tool of deception in this case.

Naomi hit back shortly thereafter, only to be countered by a knee from the 'five feet of fury" Alexa Bliss. Naomi got back up and delivered a fury of kicks to Alexa Bliss followed by a high kick from ringside as well as a diving springboard off the top rope.

The commentators remarked how Naomi had a lot more experience than Alexa Bliss but wasn't the #1 contender yet.

Nearfall on Alexa Bliss!

Naomi then goes for a lockup as Alexa Bliss powers out of it. Naomi goes right back to the offensive and kicks Alexa Bliss as she gets whiplash on the bottom turnbuckle. Realising this might be too much for her, Alexa Bliss slides out as the referee stops Naomi from following up and starts counting her out.
