Tian Sha is a force to be reckoned with.
Li faced Mercedes Martinez at WWE NXT TakeOver: In Your House, hoping to avenge her loss to the veteran in the 2017 Mae Young Classic. With this quest for payback in mind, Li took the fight to Martinez from the opening bell and dominated the opening minutes.
But when Martinez dodged a strike and caused Li to kick the ring post, she gained some breathing room. The powerhouse then rallied and suplexed Li, but Tian Sha’s weapon fired back with a suplex of his own. Li then rocked Martinez with a cyclone kick to the head for the decisive win.

After the match, Li tried to attack Martinez with a chair, but the veteran stopped her. Martinez then blasted her and Boa with the chair. But Mei Ying made her presence known by confronting Martinez and sending her crashing off the set.
