Both teams did their level best inside the ring. Baszler started things off with Kai before tagging Jax in, who went for the running splash before Shayna took over again.
Kai tried to find an opening before Baszler regained control. However, following a failed Elbow Stomp, Kai got an opening and slapped Shayna for a huge pop.

Gonzalez and Jax rolled over to the announce table for a huge pop. Inside the ring, Baszler applied the Kirifuda on Raquel again without realizing she was no longer ‘legal.’
