Before she can continue, she is interrupted by Christina Von Eerie. Von Eerie tells her one lucky win doesn't give you the right to start telling people what you are going to do, you have to earn every single thing in a place like Shimmer and Von Eerie says perhaps she needs to remind Starkz of that.

Mia Yim def. Jessica Troy by pinfall
Yim keeps up her superb matches on this weekend's shows in this one, and Troy more than plays her part. Troy keeps working into the Fujiwara Armbar, but Yim is able to fight out of it. Yim gets the win with a package piledriver.

Billie Starkz and Allison Danger def. MsEerie by pinfall
A great tag match. Billie and Von Eerie really go at it, with Starkz determined to prove her win over Del Rey was not a fluke.
