As soon as the Queen of the Ring tournament match began, it didn’t take long for Ripley and Morgan to renew their rivalry. With Morgan in trouble, Perez saved her from Ripley’s Rip-Tide. The duo then double-teamed Ripley with a Code Breaker-German Suplex combo. Since this moment, Perez and Morgan eventually worked together in the match.
Ripley eventually hit her Rip-Tide on Morgan, but Raquel Rodriguez appeared out of nowhere to pull Ripley out of the ring. As they brawled outside the ring, Sane connected with an InSane Elbow from the top rope on both women and headed back to the top turnbuckle to connect with another InSane Elbow on Morgan. But Perez stole the win and advanced in the Queen of the Ring tournament.
