In the midst of their trash-talk, Hunter failed to notice that Cartier was pre-occupied with something behind her back. When Hunter's attention finally focused on her Daniella's hands, Cartier revealed gloves on her hands and landed a haymaker across the side of the champion's head. Reeling, Hunter fell onto the couch in a daze. Cartier sprang onto her like a leopard, launching into the air and kneeing her in the ribs, again and again.

After escaping from her predicament, Diane chastised the challenger for the use of the gloves and as Cartier moved in to continue her assault, Hunter deftly slipped to the side, letting the challenger shoot past her, losing her balance. Hunter immediate secured a guillotine choke hold on her. On the verge of being choked out, Daniella regained her composure and bucked like a bronco, forcing Hunter to release her hold. As the two talked back and forth, Cartier charged, grabbing the champion and lifted her off of the ground and pressed her against the wall.
