Much of the bout saw Jax and Legend tormenting each their opponents in addition to Flair and Bliss on the surface, with the Bellas forced to fight from underneath against the physically larger champions. Nikki locked within the Fearless Lock to Legend in the course of the ring, appearing to be about to get the submission victory. Meanwhile, Jax went to hit Brie with a title belt on the surface of the ring, and Flair got in the best way but caused a disqualification in the method, allowing Jax and Legend to retain their titles.
The three teams fought after the match, with the champions getting the higher end of things and ending the segment standing tall over their challengers. Afterward, it was made official that the Bellas could get some semblance of revenge over their defeat with a tag team bout against Flair and Bliss on “SmackDown” next week.
