Match

Mandy came out of the gate with a running knee strike. She pummeled Sonya into the corner until the referee had to break them up. Sonya ducked out of the ring and took the advantage back when Mandy attempted to go after her. Back in the ring, Sonya focused in on the leg of Mandy Rose.

Sonya held Mandy down in a body lock and talked a lot of trash as she pulled off Mandy’s eye lashes. After Sonya released the body lock, Mandy managed to sneak in a clothesline and then action spilled to the outside. Mandy threw Sonya into the steps and then over the announce table.

When they got back in the ring, Sonya cradled Mandy and secured the pinfall victory by hooking the tights.
