Match

This is a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match.

The match began with a crucifix pin attempt from Naomi and then both women attempted an O’conner Roll. Dana Brooke sent Naomi to the outside and kept yelling about and pointing to the briefcase. Dana hit many of her bigger moves and evaded the first rear view attempt from Naomi.

While Naomi connected with the second Rear View, Dana Brooke evaded the split legged moonsault. Brooke pinned Naomi with a sunset flip.
