After the commercial break, Asuka took a hard beating from Jax and Baszler. Then Nia and Shayna went for a double-team suplex to finish Charlotte, but failed to do it. Flair counterattacked with a clothesline and chopped Jax. Nia withstood the onslaught, landed a powerbomb and was close to submit Flair with a chin lock. However, Charlotte escaped and tagged Asuka in. Asuka charged at her rivals but took a huge blow from Flair and dropped down. Jax tagged in to win the contest by pinfall.

They became the number 1 title contenders and strengthened their championship ambitions by triumphing over Brooke and Rose.
