Dakota was back for the first time since TakeOver: WarGames and started off with some kicks before Ripley picked her up and tossed her away. Ripley dropped Kai on the apron before Kai stomped on her arm and sent her into the ring post.

We returned from commercials to see Ripley in an armbar but she powered through and took Kai out with a slam. Ripley's left arm was injured as the former NXT Women's champ took a boot to the face but managed to hit the Alabama Slam.
