Scrambling to recover from Hunter's unorthodox actions, Cartier scrambled back up on the bed. Hunter swiftly followed and began forcing the action. As she mounted Cartier for what looked by the final time, it appeared Cartier had run out of answers. In a last burst of desperation, Cartier pushed DIane backwards and continued with the momentum all the way off of the bed, inadvertently implementing a modified sunset flip where she trapped the challenger, pushing her up against the bed and pressing her shoulders to the ground. As Hunter struggled to escape, Cartier held fast and shouted off the three-count for the win. Finally spent, both women collapsed in a heap onto the bed.

For both women, the match served as an announcement to all ACW competitors - Daniella had again found a way to retain her title and Hunter had taken the champ to the limit and shown no hint of quitting. She immediately a rematch and it will likely be granted. Both women realized that they had each faced their greatest challenger and that it would only be the first of a series of classic clashes.
