The Queen Bee Madison Rayne came in next, showing little to no ring rust. She cleaned house, but was distracted by her former frenemy, Kiera Hogan. This led to a forearm trade between the two, with Hogan getting the better of the five-time Knockouts Champion.
The Kaiju Queen then came down the ramp, running through everyone that stood in her way. Forbes, Lee, Hogan, Susie, and Rae were dominated, though not eliminated. Madison Rayne made the smart decision of not getting involved with Havok at Slammiversary.
Taya Valkyrie actually came out this time, and set her sights on Katie Forbes. She managed to eliminate her just in time for Alisha Edwards to come in. Edwards delivered a tornado DDT on Taya but was then tossed by Havok into Kylie Rae.
Havok's tag team partner Nevaeh rolled in, giving Havok some time to breath while she ran through the competition. A backbreaker/roundhouse combination took Alisha down. The Demon Assassin Rosemary was the next competitor, and ducked a double clothesline from Havok and Nevaeh to spear Susie at Slammiversary.
Rosemary watched Valkyrie's back as she eliminated Susie. John E. Bravo, now dressed as Rosemary, made a fool of himself and everyone he held dear, but managed to eliminate Havok. Rae tossed him out once again, and eliminated the Queen Bee as well.
Eventually, the field was wittled down to Kylie Rae, Kimber Lee, Rosemary, and Taya Valkyrie. A wheelbarrow cutter stunned Lee, allowing Rae to eliminate her. Still, this left the numbers game in the favor of Rosemary and Valkyrie. Rosemary trapped Rae in the Upside Down, but Valkyrie took advantage of the situation, knocking Rosemary to the floor at Slammiversary.
With that, the ref slid in the ring, meaning that the winner of this match must be decided by pinfall or submission. Rae shocked Valkyrie with a Canadian Destroyer and a superkick, making Rae the new No.1 Contender to the Knockouts Championship at Slammiversary.
