Jax hit a Samoan Drop to Ripley and went for the Annihilator, but Ripley got to her feet and hit Jax with a powerbomb. The challengers brutalized Ripley and Jax hit another Samoan Drop to her on the commentary desk.

SKY broke up a pin and tangled with Legend on the outside after Jax hit Ripley with a leg drop. SKY hit a missile dropkick to Legend, followed by a suicide dive to Jax on the outside, then hit a meteora and Over the Moonsault to Legend, but Jax was still able to break up the pin.
