Things fell apart for Bliss and Cross when Banks and Cross were left alone in the ring. After a brief brawl between the two, Cross had Banks rolled up for what looked like the win. However, Banks was able to reverse things and pin Cross’ arms down with her legs in the air. Unable to kick out or break away from the pin, Cross was helpless as the referee counted to three, crowning Banks and Bayley as the new tag team champions and leaving Cross and Bliss stunned.
