Arisa doesn’t wait for the bell; as soon as she steps through the ropes, she attacks Hiroyo with a fury. Arisa is laying into Hiroyo with kick after kick after kick until Hiroyo collapses in the corner. Arisa boot scrapes Hiroyo’s face a few times. The referee tries to pull Arisa away; Arisa just shoves the ref away. Arisa runs from the adjacent corner and lands a vicious boot scrape across Hiroyo’s face. Arisa celebrates her attack. The ref is checking on Hiroyo. Hiroyo swings at the ref but misses.

The camera cuts to backstage to find Syuri and Makoto attacking Lin Bairon. They both grab Lin and throw her into an equipment case. Syuri grabs a conveniently placed mop and begins beating Lin with it. Makoto grabs the mop bucket and throws it at Lin. They grab Lin again and toss her through a door into a washroom. They bounce her off a stall wall then shove her into a stall. The camera gets a few from above; Syuri is slamming the toilet seat on Lin’s head. Makoto pushes Lin’s head into the bowl and Syuri flushes it.

Syuri - That’s the last time you ever embarrass us
Makoto - and don’t forget to wash your hands when you’re done in here.

Syuri and Makoto wash their hands then leave the washroom as officials come in to check on Lin. The camera returns to the arena.

Arisa slides back into the ring with a folding chair. The ref tries to stop Arisa but gets pushed away again. Arisa lays the chair on the mat. Arisa lifts Hiroyo from the mat, whips her off the ropes then takes her over with a Cutie Special onto the chair. The ref calls for the bell (ding ding ding…)
This match has been declared a no contest

The fans are mocking Gail’s shaved head as she comes to the ring. Mickie gets a laugh when she sees Gail’s obvious wig. Gail is holding her wig tight and slapping as Mickie tries to touch it. Mickie laughs and goes to her corner. (ding, ding) They both come in for a lockup. Gail instantly breaks away and complains that Mickie was pulling her hair. The ref just smirks and motions for them to lockup again. They lock up and Mickie turns it into a headlock. Gail is screaming as Mickie pulls at her wig. Mickie stops when the ref warns her. Gail shoots her off into the ropes but misses a clothesline because she’s holding her wig.
Gail yells at the fans as they laugh at her. Mickie gives her a stiff kick in the ass. When Gail spins around, Mickie kicks her in the gut then DDTs her.
