Result: Sane counters the Kirifuda Clutch with a roll-up to win the strap (13:37).

Rating: This was a highly entertaining match with a classic, tried-and-tested layout: the confident monster against the scrappy underdog. Both played their parts perfectly.

The result felt a little rushed in the final stretch and it certainly could've been built to a little better, but for the most part the back-and-forth was fantastic, as was the pair's outstanding chemistry.

Sane winning was legitimately surprising, and sensibly Baszler was protected in defeat, which has left many speculating about an imminent main roster call-up. Hopefully she isn't wasted. 7/10
