TBS Championship
Mercedes Mone (C) vs. Nyla Rose

Mercedes Mone approaches them and Okada asks if she can do “The CEO” dance for him. She obliges and walks off as Okada gets worked up seeing the TBS & NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion shake her stuff. After the brief backstage interview segment, we shift gears and head into another commercial break.

When the show returns, it’s time for our second match of the evening, which is another championship contest, as “The CEO” herself, Mercedes Mone, defends her TBS Championship in an Open Challenge that was accepted by Nyla Rose. Britt Baker has been banned from the backstage area to ensure this one goes down without interference.

After the two make their respective ring walks, the bell sounds and this one gets officially off-and-running. Mercedes goes for a lockup but is quickly sent to the corner by Rose, only to leap over to evade the challenger…who drops Mone’ to the mat just as quickly. The champ manages to turn things around with a couple kicks, using the corner to inflict some more damage.

Rose fights right back, only for Mercedes to evade a delayed vertical suplex. Mone’ goes for a tornado DDT but gets caught by the challenger, who hangs her up on the top rope before delivering a knee drop for a two-count. On that note, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break as this title tilt continues.

Rose continues the attack, wearing down the champ as she sends Mercedes into the corner. Mone’ manages to escape, turning things around with a running double knee in the corner for a nearfall. Mercedes takes a moment before going back after the challenger, stomping away as Rose heads to the corner, but the champ lays in some mounted punches, countering a powerbomb into a hurricanrana for another nearfall.

She goes for an abdominal stretch, trying to wear Nyla down even further until the challenger fights back with a boot, only to be caught once again by Mone. We see Mone work her way to the finish of this one, which sees her pull out her own custom glove, ala Britt Baker for the LockJaw, for the submission victory to retain her TBS Championship.

After the match wraps up, a fan with a mask on strikes and is revealed to be Britt Baker. A ton of security runs out to keep Baker and Mone from getting into it again. We head to another commercial break after the match wraps up.

Winner and STILL TBS Champion: Mercedes Mone
