Bayley was the first Superstar to make her entrance and made her way to the ring where she took part in a pre-match interview with Charly Caruso. Bayley said that despite being the first entrant and having the odds against her, she has never backed down from a fight and will bring the fight tonight.

Third entrant Sarah Logan was able to bring more offense onto Bayley but Bayley was able to toughen through and eliminate Logan with a roll-up. After the elimination, Morgan ran into the ring to attack Bayley. The two members of the Riott Squad double team Bayley, making her an easy target for the fourth entrant, Ruby Riott!

Sixth entrant Mickie James starts things off by pulling Riott out to the ring and hits the double knees from the apron. She throws Riott back in the ring but Riott kicks out at two. James goes for another cover after landing a corner head scissors takedown and dropkick but Riott continues to stay alive as we go for another break,
Back from the break, James avoids the Riott Kick and sets up for the Mickie-DT but Riott rolls James from behind with a handful of tights to get the three count and stay alive.
Final entrant Sasha Banks started things off with multiple quick covers before switching over to a grounded arm submission.

A Bank Statement attempt from Banks but Riott counters with an STO. Riott continues with kicks from the corner and then adding slaps. The Superstars battle at a corner where Banks is able to stun Riott with a knee shot and follows up with a double knee drop from the top rope.
