Baszler taunted Blackheart early and nearly put her in an arm bar in the first 30 seconds of the match. The two competitors took turns dumping each other over the top rope. Blackheart hit a step up knee and a DDT, a step up enziguri, and a sliced bread on the ring apron. As Blackheart jumped from the top rope, Baszler locked in the Kurobuta Clutch for the submission victory.
