Naomi's entrance still remains amazing. She started the bout off with a brutal looking blockbuster on the outside.

The champ appeared to injure her right leg on the apron early on. Natalya worked the knee and reversed a submission attempt into the sharpshooter. Naomi rolled backwards, throwing Natalya into bottom turnbuckle. Natalya got her knees up to block Naomi's split-legged moonsault, and locked in the sharpshooter to notch the win.

Surprisingly, Carmella did not cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase.
