Velvet applies an armbar but Mickie reverses it, then she goes for a quick cover before applying a wristlock and sending Velvet into the ropes. Mickie goes to dropkick her but Velvet sweeps her legs, then she hits a seated dropkick for a pin attempt of her own. Both girls slug it out and hit each other with forearm shots, then Mickie puts her in a seated full nelson and knees her in the back as we go to a break. We get back to see Mickie apply a headlock variation, then Velvet breaks it so Mickie throws her back but Velvet meets her with a few elbows.

Velvet hits the ropes and throws a few more elbow shots, then she chops Mickie and whips her into the ropes but Mickie shoves her and sets up a neckbreaker. Velvet counters the neckbreaker with a side Russian legsweep for two, then she runs towards the corner but Mickie kicks her a few times until ODB calls for the break. Mickie runs at her but Velvet shoves her away, then she drops Mickie with a spinning headscissors takedown and injures her knee on the landing. Mickie gets up and chopblocks her knee, then she connects with a quick DDT for the win.
