A plagued ripley tried a riptide in the sky, but it was turned to a ddt. As soon as Sky thought she had the upper hand, she was kicked in the head. Ripley went up for a riptide from the middle ropes but Sky countered. Ripley got a leg up before Sky could finish her lunar advantage. Belair came back in the fold and spiced the sky with a code. Ripley was at the last second capable of breaking down Belair’s PIN attempts.
Apparently there was no end in sight when Ripley and Belair threw disputed blows against each other.
Belair was able to get a second to hit Ripley with a code. But when she fastened her, Sky spiked a Moonsault on both of them.
