Xia Li beats Mercedes Martinez. After the match, Boa hands a steel chair to Xia Li, but Mercedes Martinez trips her and grabs the chair. Boa gets in the ring and gets hit with it, then Mercedes hits Xia Li with it. Mercedes then tells Xia Li that if she wants to take her out, she will break her neck. Suddenly, Mei Ying - the woman on the chair - makes her presence known, and when Merdedes hits Xia with the chair again, Mei Ying gets up.

Mercedes hits her with the chair, but it has no effect and grabs Mercedes again, throwing her into the barricade.
