AJ Lee (c) vs. Natalya
Natalya wins an early lock-up and takes down the champion with a shoulder block, standing tall and displaying dominance. She doesn't give AJ any time to rest, attacking her in the corner and going right to a side headlock. AJ tries to transition into a body scissors, but Nattie bends the ankle over her knee and puts on a leg stretch. The champ gets to the ropes and they are forced to break it up.
AJ takes a breather on the outside with Tamina, and gets rolled up quickly when she gets back in the ring. Natalya hits a bodyslam before locking in a modified abdominal stretch. AJ fights out of the hold and takes a cheap shot out of the ropes, only to get dropkicked to the floor.
After a brief commercial break, AJ Lee is in control. They show that during the break, Tamina caused a distraction and Nattie lost her advantage with a hard bump off the apron. AJ locks in the Black Widow out of nowhere, but after a fwe moments Natalya powers out of it. AJ with a hard slap across the face, and Nattie tries for a surpise roll-up while the champion taunts the fans; two-count. Lee tries for a sunset flip, but the challenger rolls through and plants a dropkick right in the face.
Both girls slowly get up and start trading slaps in the corner, followed by hard kicks. The ref warns her to back out of the ropes a few times, after an obvious choke. Natalya fires back out of nowhere with some momentum, but is caught with a big kick to the gut. But girls are obviously tired. AJ locks in the Black Widow again, but Nattie scoops her up for a bodyslam – the champ floats over and locks in a sleeper hold instead! Natalya throws off AJ with a arm drag and both are down.
