We all knew Banks and Belair would not win the titles, and it was always going to end with them at each other's throats. The booking of this match was predictable. Corey Graves even mentioned one of them and cited her inexperience as a reason for the flub. The first couple of minutes had a fast pace, which led to Belair making a couple of minor mistakes. Banks slapped Belair and walked away before The EST could react. This caused an argument between the challengers that led to Baszler winning with a roll-up. The Boss tagged in and almost won with the Bank Statement on Baszler before Jax broke up the hold by shoving Belair into them. Reginald cheered on Jax and Baszler from ringside. The champions isolated The EST of WWE in their corner for a few minutes while they wore her down. As soon as The Queen of Spades had the upper hand, Jax tagged herself in.

She was soon followed by Slapjack, while T-Bar and Mace ended up attacking the group's leader with a double chokeslam.

The champion eventually found the will to make a comeback, but Ali countered the Broton from the top rope with a pair of knees. The rest of Retribution watched as Ali berated them following a successful counter.Īli dished out a lot of punishment as he tried to wear Riddle down. They started with a standard exchange before picking up the pace as Riddle took control.
