With a sickening crack, Cartier laid an open-handed slap across Daisee's face, sending the challenger sprawling back on her heels. Drawing from instinct within, Douglas stumbled forward, delivering a slap of her own to Cartier's face. The two rocked back on their heels circling each other until the moment the two unleashed furiously with both delivering smacks to the other's head, sending women both to the floor.

Douglas quickly went on the offensive lunging at Cartier and sending her sprawling backwards, but Daniella recovered and got to her feet. While Daniella circled, Daisee lay on her back with her feet at the ready with defensive kicks. Cartier, however, saw her moment and rush in, grabbing both of Daisee's legs, dragging her back over to the couch. From a sitting position, Cartier pushed forward, pressing Douglas' legs over her head, thereby taking away all of her leverage. Counting 1-2-3, Cartier rolled off of her challenger with the win.

An exhausted Cartier slumped on the floor, while Douglas quickly got to her feet and moved away, leaving the former champion wondering whether she was losing her championship edge... and whether this match would stand in the way of her title hunt.
