Bayley Humphrey beats Chantel Monroe. After the match, Booker T is impressed with their match as Bayley was able to work from the bottom as a babyface against Chantel, who showed aggressiveness as a heel.

Matt Bloom gives props to both women, and says that Chantel played the heel so well that it would bring the babyface out of Bayley. Bayley says that the match that she and Chantel had are along the kind of matches that she likes, then we see Bayley talk about the match with her mother.

Bubba Ray Dudley meets with Tate Wilder and Nathan Cranton. Bubba wants Cranton to show intent that he wants to hurt Wilder and get a natural reaction for Wilder, and wants them both to show emotion with both their fists and their body language.

Bubba Ray says that it is not about doing a lot of moves, and that while the fans will react to motion, they will react more to emotion.
