As you can imagine, the beginning of the match was as unpredictable and as wild as you’d expect a triple threat match to be. Every time a wrestler left the picture they came back out of nowhere adding to the intrigue of it. Flair eventually sent Nikki out to go one on one with Ripley.

A frustrated Ripley began to unload at Flair by the ringside only to be taken out by Nikki with her crossbody from the top rope.
Ripley and Nikki teamed up temporarily to attempt a double suplex on Flair only for the Queen to turn it around into a double DDT. Flair then applied the figure four into the figure eight on Ripley but Nikki managed to break it in time.

Nikki tried to take advantage and hit the Riptide on the Champion but Nikki managed to put her away with a DDT. She looked to end things with a Crossbody on Flair but the Queen got out of the way and finished the match with Nikki tapping out to the Figure Eight.
