In round one of the tournament, Zelina Vega defeated Toni Storm in a rather underwhelming matchup. Going into the match, Vega was the favorite one. Vega overpowered Storm from the start. During the final moments, Storm executed a hip strike as Vega backed up into the corner.

Storm climbed to the top, but Vega yanked her down by the hair. Storm grabbed Vega and threw a gruesome bomb at her, but Vega rolled her up for the win.

Liv slams Carmella for a two-count as Mella got her foot on the rope. Carmella kicks Morgan and snaps her on the top rope, then hits a super-kick for the win.
