Leya Hirsch had the Best Friends as backup to counter the HFO who had accompanied The Bunny to the ring. We saw Hirsch hitting a dive out to ringside early on. Back in the ring, she attempted to lock in the armbar early. The Bunny hit back with a backstabber before tossing Hirsch out of the ring. The Bunny followed her out and dropkicked Hirsch into the barricade.

Back inside the ring, The Bunny continued to dominate the match until Hirsch finally found her opening. She couldn't put The Bunny away and locked in the Crossarm Breaker. The Bunny turned it into a inning attempt, getting a two-count. Hirsch caught The Bunny with a knee strike but missed her attempted Moonsault. The Bunny capitalized and hit a Death Valley Driver, only getting a two-count. Hirsch locked in another Cross Armbreaker and this time she was forced to tap out.
