The autobiography of Becky Lynch is a prominent element in her ring entrance, while Rhea Ripley gets a live performance of her theme as she heads down the very long ramp.

Lynch shows she’s not intimidated by the champ, slapping her in the face and hitting a missile dropkick. They head to the floor, where Becky has Rhea’s left arm targeted. A Northern Lights suplex is on target for Ripley when they return to the ring, and she gets the first two count.

Ripley earns another near fall with a suplex, looking comfortable with the pace. A dropkick from Rhea is on target, but Lynch pulls off an arm drag to yank Ripley down from the top rope.

Lynch uses the ropes for momentum to connect on a DDT, covering for another two count. Ripley ends up strung over the ropes, and Lynch hits a legdrop on her and continues by coming off the top rope to the back of Rhea’s neck, covering for yet another two.

Trying to fly off the top rope again, Lynch finds herself caught by Ripley, and a body slam is followed by a big knee to the face. Mami goes for the pin and hears the ref count to two.

Taken to the ground by the champ, Ripley has to struggle to avoid the Disarm-Her. Rhea figures the best way to escape is to pick Becky off the mat and slam her down, three times in a row to earn a near fall.

A big boot is next, with Rhea looking frustrated now that Becky won’t stay down. They trade blows and headbutts until Ripley misses a charge into the corner, and Lynch continues to torment her while she’s caught in the ropes.

Lynch lands another legdrop to the back of the neck, but Ripley answers with her standing crab submission, dragging Lynch to the middle of the ring and then falling back to keep her body weight engaged. Becky pivots so the champ’s shoulders are down, forcing her to release the hold.

Ripley’s Riptide is countered by a Manhandle Slam, yet Mami kicks out at two. Ripley hits the Riptide this time, looking incredulous when it’s not sufficient to end the match.

Looking for another way to finish things, Ripley goes up top but is quickly crotched by Becky. Lynch’s superplex lets her float over into the Disarm-Her, and Ripley looks to be in trouble. But she’s able to power to her feet, then flip over the top rope to the floor. Becky is still on the champ’s shoulders, but an electric chair drop crushes her.

Ripley hits a frog splash and now it’s Pat McAfee’s turn to be incredulous when it turns out to be a two count.

The battle heads up to the top rope again, but nothing too big occurs. You know what is big? A Riptide into the buckles, then another on the mat, allowing Ripley to finally bring this to a close. Mami retains, though it took everything she had to do it.
