Match

The match again began during the commercial break. Action spilled to the outside, and Charlotte missed Ruby and chopped the post. Charlotte slammed Riott face first into the ring post. Back in the ring, Ruby cinched in a submission focused on the injured hand of Charlotte. After Charlotte worked her way to her feet, she began stomping on Ruby. When Ruby went for the Riott kick, Flair blocked and locked in the Figure Eitght for the submission victory.
