Lee set the pace early and used his agility and quickness to completely turn Brookside around. More kicks combined with a dropkick kept her out in front of Brookside. She then hit a nasty german suplex and a thrust kick after that. As they moved outside the ring, Lee hit a diving shoulder block to Brookside.

But Brookside only needed a moment to get back into the game. She pushed Lee into the ring post and tweaked Lee’s left knee. She began to go to work on the knee, finding the best opening to do some damage to the champion.
