Deonna capitalizes off the distraction as she wears Jazz down. Deonna attempts to lock in the Fujiwara Armbar but Jazz counters into a facebuster. Susan puts Deonna’s foot on the ropes in order to break the count. Jordynne has seen enough but Susan baits her in and sends her into the steel ring post.
