The weight and size disparity between the two was apparent immediately and Rose was able to easily overpower the champion. Riho eventually got Rose in position for a 619, but it was blocked by Rose. After a few near-falls, the two went to the top rope and Rose bit the face of her before delivering a death valley driver. However, Riho kicked out of the cheap attack.

The fans were firmly behind Riho and she delivered two impressive suplexes before going for a running knee strike that missed. After a grappling scramble, Riho was able to hit a northern lights suplex for a near-fall. Riho then hit a double foot stomp but it was only good enough for a one count. Two more nearly did Rose in, but she got her feet on the rope.

Rose would then hit a spear and a sitout powerbomb to become the new champion.
