Ripley battled Morgan with The Judgment Day around the ringside area. Ripley is a former member of the group and took time trying to take them out of the match. Morgan controlled much of the beginning, but a fury of offense including two huge head-butts and a power bomb into vertical suplex turned the tide in Ripley's favor.
In the end, Ripley kicked out of an Oblivion executed onto a steel chair. After, Morgan hit the three amigos suplexes, which led to numerous boos from the audience.
She then hit a Frog Splash and covered, but Ripley kicked out. Morgan went for another Oblivion, but Ripley countered it into two Riptide finishers. Ripley then made the cover for the victory.
