The Queen of Spades faced Candace LaRae in what was probably her best match since the Mae Young Classic. Baszler started the match by building on her taunts of LaRae from the previous week, implying that LaRae doesn't belong in the ring and that LaRae “should be at home tending to her duties as a housewife”.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

After receiving a fair display of LaRae's offense, Baszler viciously targeted LaRae's left shoulder and arm, throwing her opponent around the ring.

Baszler finished the match with another patented submission move, forcing LaRae to tap out. Not satisfied with the damage done throughout the fight, Baszler re-applied the hold after which brought out Baszler's Takeover: Brooklyn opponent, Kairi Sane, for the save.

Baszler looked like she was back at her destructive best after a sub-par feud with Dakota Kai and Nikki Cross. The way that she targeted Candace's arm and shoulder was fantastic and built on the image she has of being a legitimate threat.
