Bayley came back with a huge suplex and the flying elbow drop but James kicked out. James hit a huge DDT and got the pinfall.
Ember Moon was in next and Mickie wasted no time going on the offensive but took a crossbody from Moon. Ember hit the Eclipse soon after for the three-count. Natalya was the next one in and took a big suplex from Moon. Natalya got a quick roll-up and got the three count. Ruby Riott came in and was eliminated too, shortly after.
