While she had the champion on the ropes, she was unable to put her away. Working on the defensive, Diane countered every move. The two brawled, rolling around on and off of the bed. Diane attempted several times to get Cartier in a painful hold but Cartier countered by slapping and kicking her way out of danger.

When Hunter momentarily lost her balance, Cartier grabbed her from behind, bending Diane over on the bed, and in a surreal moment simulated sex with her asking "Is this how Tanako did, is this the way he did it to you," referencing her allegations that Hunter had traded sexual favors to gain the belt. She then rolled Hunter onto her back and mounted her again, holding onto the headboard for balance. In a frenzy, she ripped the headboard off of the wall. A flippant Diane quipped "look what you did to the bed, and now that you're not the champ, you're a broke bitch and you can't pay for it." Cartier ran and grabbed the headboard and chased the champion back into the other room.
