Wrenkowski is a student of Thunder Rosa. Late in the match, Wrenkowski grabbed one of Bates’ books and started tearing out the pages and throwing them at Bates. Bates got up and started pounding on her, then tried to hit her with the book, but the ref grabbed it away. As the ref was removing the book from the ring, Wrenkowski grabbed another book and nailed Bates with it in the face for the 1-2-3.
Winner: Madi Wrenkowski

Thunder Rosa actually controlled the majority of the match, immobilizing Nyla Rose by going after her legs. Towards the end, Rosa was able to hit Nyla with a Death Valley Driver, but only got a two count. She then hit Nyla with a stunner and a backdrop suplex for a near fall. Rosa went to the top rope, but Nyla caught her and hit her with a Beast Bomb! 1-2-3.
Winner: Nyla Rose
Nyla Rose will face Japan bracket winner Ryo Mizunami in the overall tournament final this Wednesday on Dynamite. The winner will face Hikaru Shida for the Women’s World Championship at the Revolution PPV on Sunday.
