Result: Shayna makes Bayley tap out, winning Shayna and Nia the titles (10:20).

Rating: Though expectations were low for this - largely due to Nia's involvement, admittedly - it was a fun, intense sprint that even offered up a mildly surprising title change.

The storytelling was strong from the jump, with Shayna and Nia becoming an increasingly cohesive unit over the course of the match, even if Nia undeniably stands out as uncoordinated compared to her more accomplished ring partners.

Whatever you made of the match as a whole, though, there's no denying the incredible creativity of that finish from Shayna: using Sasha's arm to choke out Bayley was genius. Terrific stuff. 7/10
