Result: Baszler chokes Storm out on the outside of the ring with the Kirifuda Clutch, leaving her to be counted out (12:08).

Rating: Storm felt like a legit title contender here and nearly had the win a few times, rather than this feeling like a slapped-together title match to appease the U.K. crowd.

Storm was great as the never-say-die face while Baszler continued to cement herself as one of the most tenacious heels in women's wrestling today. The ending could've been frustrating if the match had been laid out differently, but it made Baszler look like a beast in a totally unique way, resorting to a dirty tactic to keep her opponent down.

This was physical in all the right ways and made both of them look great. 7/10
