Danielle Kamela erred by utilizing the Steelers’ famed Terrible Towel as weaponry, and she faced the consequences as she tapped out to Baker’s Lockjaw. The significant scene came when she donned a Steelers receiver glove prior to capturing Kamela in the submission maneuver. After her victory, with both the Steelers athletes in the squared circle, she issued a warning to the surviving competitors in the Owen Hart Foundation women’s tournament.
