Jaida Parker got her payback on Nattie and it came in unbelievable fashion.

The numbers game with Karmen Petrovic and Evolve Women’s Champion Nikkita Lyons paid dividends for Nattie as they kept Parker distracted at key moments, allowing the Lowkey Legend to regain control almost whenever she needed to.

Parker’s knee became compromised thanks to a chop block and a dragon screw, but she returned the favor by sending Nattie knee-first into the steel steps.

Adding insult to injury, Parker locked in the infamous Sharpshooter, and out of nowhere the towel was thrown in on Nattie’s behalf.

However, it turns out that it was none other than Thea Hail who threw in the towel for the Lowkey Legend.

Shawn Spears defeated Niko Vance not by out-muscling him, but by outsmarting him.

The battle was as brutal as it was personal as the two clashed on the outside, highlighted by a massive running powerslam from Vance.

Spears used his veteran savvy to stay in the match, and even got a boost from Lizzy Rain who took out Izzi Dame at ringside.

With the official distracted with that, Spears used a tactic made famous by WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero, slamming the chair on the mat and tossing it to Vance, forcing the official to call for a disqualification.
