The babyfaces gained early control of the match, winning a test a strength to land a triple suplex, following up with a baseball slide by Nikki and Becky and a springboard cross body from Naomi that took out Mickie, Alexa and Natalya.
After a quick break, Becky remained in control of the babyface team with ariel attacks to Natalya. The Lasskicker was all games until an interference from Mickie James from the outside.
The heels would go on to rotate tags amongst each other in an effort to inflict as much damage to Becky as they could. Just when Becky would find a way to make it to her teammates corner, Natalya knocked off Nikki and Naomi from the ring aprons.
Still, Becky managed to endure it all and one hot tag later, Becky made the much needed tag to Naomi, who brought fiery kicks to Alexa upon entering the ring as well as Mickie and Natalya from their respective corner.
Mickie reinserted herself in the match to break a pin fall but would get taken out by Becky via BexPlex. A run in by Natalya would send Becky to the ring post but a spear by Nikki would take out Natalya.

With only two Superstars left inside the ring, Naomi would grab the win for her team after landing a round house kick to Alexa, topping it off with a corner split-legged moonsault.
